Hi Giacomo, Please report this to Fedora since this relates to their SELinux setup, or even if it is SELinux in general. If it turns out that there is something that should be changed in Konsole then they can file a bug here. |
Version: 2.1 (using KDE 4.1.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Fedora RPMs Hi, I post this as a "wish" because I'm not sure it's really a bug... it seems mostly related to SELinux policy rather than to konsole. The problem is the following: when switching user with su - and becoming root, sometimes (very often indeed, although not every time) I get error messages such this: SELinux is preventing <process> from using potentially mislabeled files (/tmp/kde-${USER}zHTeRF/konsoleat5970.tmp). This seemed to me more like a feature than a bug: SELinux is preventing some "root-property" output to get dumped to a normal-user file. But it's getting really annoying, I keep getting popups from sealert every time (ok, almost every time) I fire a command... Is there a way to get rid of these messages? Of course the first thing I tried was restorecon -Rv /tmp # I put this in my rc.local and then touch /.autorelabel But, as I said, it seems it's more like a feature than a bug, but it's really annoying anyway. Thanks, cheers. Giacomo.
