This may be the wrong list for this question, but has anyone used the firestarter RPM with Selinux? I seem to get a lot of errors relating to selinux on network startup/shutdown when firestarter is installed. I am using 2.6.12.1 kernel.
I tracked the problem with firestarter down to /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks which contains the line "sh /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh start" which starts firestarter independed of the firestater init script. Removing this line solves the selinux errors and the firewall policy still seems to be in effect. I am theroizing that the line above is executed when the dhclient daemon attempts to shutdown as well as start thus attempting to start the firewall while closing the interface. I think this is what selinux is flagging. I haven't checked to see if there is a reason for that command yet.
Yep, I can confirm this clears up all the Selinux/Kernel boot errors related to FS and all seems to be running "ok" so far.
Thanks for finding this,
Colin
