Not a fix, but a confirmation that something seems to be running this nm-system-settings thing even though I am not using NM, all my stuff is through the network interface, fixed addressing etc. But I am getting selinux alerts from it nonetheless. I startx manually, and when it has 99% initialized is when the alert pops up. However, a survey of the system cannot find a process by that name, now or immediately after the startx inits a few shells for me. Its a minor niggle to me, but to a new bee, might be alarming, and should be fixed. The system has been relabeled several times without effecting this. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
