i updated the new kernel 2.6.11-1.35_FC3 and new selinux policy. The
only error I am getting is:
audit(1119984375.342:0): avc:  denied  { execmod } for  pid=4185
comm=kdm path=/usr/bin/kdm dev=hda7 ino=49541
scontext=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:bin_t
tclass=file
and because of this I am unable to start the X-server unless I make
enforcing=0 while booting or change /etc/selinux/config.
Is this some problem with KDE? I updated my system to KDE 3.4 from kde-redhat.
