I just installed FC4 on a laptop . Fresh install not upgrade. I was 
trying to start my GPRS connection over bluetooth as I did in FC3. The 
bluetooth service does not seem like working. Looking in the logs ( 
messages) I found:

Jul  9 23:56:02 fujitsu1020 hcid[3934]: Bluetooth HCI daemon
Jul  9 23:56:02 fujitsu1020 hcid[3934]: Can not open 
/etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf
Jul  9 23:56:02 fujitsu1020 hcid[3934]: Config load failed
Jul  9 23:56:02 fujitsu1020 hcid[3934]: Can't open PIN file 
/etc/bluetooth/pin: Permission denied (13)
Jul  9 23:56:02 fujitsu1020 sdpd[3936]: Bluetooth SDP daemon

 All this files exist, have 644 permissions and corect in format since I start hcid and run "rfcomm bind all"  by hand the bluetooth connection start working. 

The problem is selinux since I modify to "permissive" all is working as expected. In "enforcing" is not working anymore. I think that selinux is preventing access to configuration files. I have all updates to the day.
