Sounds reasonable. How do I tell if it's enabled? I did some looking on how to disable it, and it looks like creating a file /etc/sysconfig/selinux and add SELINUX=disabled to it, and I also saw passing selinux=0 as a kernel option on boot. But I can't reboot this box until Saturday night, so I can't play with it until then. Is there any way around this in the meantime? I mean, root should be able to do anything, right? I may just wind up vi'ing the group, passwd and shadow files and adding the entries manually today. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rahul Sundaram Sent: Tuesday, November 16, 2004 4:27 PM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: Problems modifying / adding users groups Hi "RuntimeError: couldn't get security context of `/etc/group': No data available" looks like selinux is enabled. disable it if you are not aware of the implications regards Rahul Sundaram -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list _______________________________________________________ This message has been scanned for viruses by TechTeam's email gateway. _________________________________________________ This e-mail transmission is strictly confidential and intended solely for the person or organization to whom it is addressed.
