-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hopefully this is not taken as rude: Disabling/setting permissive SELinux (particularly for an app that ships with the distribution) is the WRONG way to go, and is not required. It's a good way to figure if it is SELinux that is the problem, but the real solution is to fix the problems with the setup. Frequently it's nothing more than using restorecon or chcon. None of this stuff is rocket science, and is there to help keep admins from getting called in to clean up after intruders.
