Product : Fedora Core 3
Name : selinux-policy-targeted
Version : 1.17.30
Release : 2.93
Summary : SELinux targeted policy configuration
Description :
Security-enhanced Linux is a patch of the Linux® kernel and a number
of utilities with enhanced security functionality designed to add
mandatory access controls to Linux. The Security-enhanced Linux
kernel contains new architectural components originally developed to
improve the security of the Flask operating system. These
architectural components provide general support for the enforcement
of many kinds of mandatory access control policies, including those
based on the concepts of Type Enforcement®, Role-based Access
Control, and Multi-level Security.
This package contains the SELinux example policy configuration along
with the Flask configuration information and the application
configuration files.

DVD burning goosed?
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
Using kernel 2.6.11-1.1185_FC4, k3b-0.11.17-2, mkisofs-2.01.1-8.
I'm trying to burn to my NEC 3500a dual layer DVD burner and it
permanently crashes out at 9% of the burn. The burner is physically
sound (burns CDs fine, reads DVDs fine, burns about 9% of the disc
fine ;-p) and I'm using brand new Bulkpaq 4x DVD-R discs (which I've
used plenty of times before now).
At 9%, the burn dies - irrespective of if I'm using nautilus-burner or
k3b with the following error
System

Is this likely to be a burner fault or is DVD burning currently a bit
broken? I've not tried this using another kernel - it's been a while
since I did any burning.

Upgrade FC3 -> FC4test1 -- kernel/nash problem
by Fridrich Strba
Hello, I have upgraded by yum and a bit also manually two machines from
FC3 to FC4test1. One of the machines works without problems at all, the
other works with FC3 kernel, but not with the kernels of rawhide.
I realized, when I launch the kernels, that the machine that works well
says "Starting Red Hat nash 4.2.4", the other says that the version is
some "4.1.X". Both machines have installed the latest mkinitrd that
contains /sbin/nash and if launched by "/sbin/nash", it reports the same
version for both machines.
Does anybody have any idea where could be the problem?
Thanks in advance

Upgrading from previous FC to FC4-test1 using yum
by kmoogle
Is this possible and/or documented? I've seen documentation that
suggested installing the fedora-release and yum RPMs from the version
you're considering upgrading to, but didn't know if this was possible
with FC4test1.
Yum from FC4 doesn't appear to install/execute properly under a
previous version of FC. I guess I've grown to like ubuntu's apt
dist-upgrade and was hoping I could do the same under FC.
I'm trying to avoid the download-the-iso--then-burn-and-upgrade hassles.
Thanks for your help.

Not able to read eclipse documentation in FC 4 test 1 (amd64)
by Jan-Petter Vainionpaa
Hello,
I'm quite new with eclipse, so perhapes this is just because I haven't
made right configuration, but I'm not able to use eclipse documentation,
instead I get some errors to logfile.
At the beginning I was not even able to launch eclipse, but thanks to
tips I found from this mailinglist I get eclipse started by pointing
another vm to be used:
> eclipse -vm /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_02/jre/bin/java
But when I try to open some documentation from welcome screen in
overview (like workbench basics) after first click nothing happens, and
after second click I get message saying "An exception occured when
launching help. Refer to log for more details" And in the logfile there
is :

Looks to me that possibly some components/plugins are missing from my
installation?
I made a full installation from FC 4 test 1 amd64 installation CD set,
and I have following eclipse related packages installed:
> [jvainion@fsamd64 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep -i eclipse
> eclipse-platform-devel-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
> eclipse-pydev-0.9.0_fc-4

> eclipse-jdt-devel-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
> eclipse-platform-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
> eclipse-pde-devel-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
> eclipse-changelog-2.0.1_fc-16
> eclipse-ecj-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
> eclipse-bugzilla-0.1.0_fc-7
> eclipse-jdt-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12
> eclipse-pde-3.1.0_fc-0.M5.12

Could someone please help what is wrong here?

FC3 Apache problem
by Avinash Sridhar
hi,
I insatlled httpd using yum earlier this month and went about the
process of setting up a web server on my local machine. All went
well,except that I wanted to change the DocumentRoot directory to an
external usb drive. After googling a lot i found out that it was a bug
issue with selinux having a policy for httpd, so the bug fix was given
as
chcon -R system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t /my/new/docroot
or
setsebool -P httpd_disable_trans=1
I did this and it worked like a charm and I had no problems what so
ever. Now however I had to repartition my external disk but the data
on it was all backup and i restored the drive as usual.Around the same
time I had kept my fedora up to date using up2date. Now however when i
follow all the same procedures before I am not able to set up my
site..the error in the error_log file in /etc/httpd/error_log says
"[Tue Mar 22 13:11:24 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Symbolic link
not allowed: /var/www"
my /var/www is a symbolic link to the external path. I have
FollowSymLinks in the Options for both Directories "/ and
/var/www/html"
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong..has something changed with
selinux-policy-targeted that I am overlooking ??
Thanks in advance

Again: OpenOffice Issue Windowing/Java
by Roger Grosswiler
Perhaps this is interesting, perhaps it is nothing. Starting apps from openoffice in the shell as normal user or root
gives another feedback:
[roger@neo ~]$ ooimpress
no suitable windowing system found, exiting.
[roger@neo ~]$ su -
Password:
[root@neo ~]# ooimpress
javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment! <-- DIFF
no suitable windowing system found, exiting.
...but i install the whole bunch of gcj... (yum groupinstall "Java Development" -> i think this should be a complete
thing :-)
