Fedora 10 Selinux Denies Firefox Ability to Upload Picture

[Ole Ersoy]

I had a look in /var/log/audit as well, but did not see anything that looks like a it's related.  I pasted the last few entries at the bottom of the email.

I've been trying to see whether I can create another denial entry, so that I know exactly which one is new, but the pictures are uploading with selinux enforcing now, so perhaps it was just a coincidence that running setenforce 0 worked....

I'm in the process of learning SELinux and experimenting, but I don't think I did anything to change target policy...

If no one else has the issue, I would say it's a false report - sorry.
