Check /var/log/audit/audit.log (FC4) or /var/log/messages (FC3) for avc: denied messages. Those are the SELinux log messages when it produces a denial. Report such messages to fedora-selinux-list, along with any surrounding audit messages that may be related. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency
