Yes, the error occurred during stracing. Strange thing, I straced twice with different log files. The first time I made the error happen once. The second time I made the error happen numerous times. Both times the log file was the same size and number of lines. Anyway, I have SElinux disabled. Will booting with "enforcing=0" tell me anything? There is an audit message which comes up on boot: Jul 29 10:20:41 neidorff kernel: audit: initializing netlink socket (disabled) Jul 29 10:20:41 neidorff kernel: audit: initializing netlink socket (disabled) Jul 29 10:20:41 neidorff kernel: audit(1122632103.538:0): initialized Jul 29 10:20:41 neidorff kernel: audit(1122632103.538:0): initialized I don't know if this is relavent or not. I tried an existing user who had not logged in before. Started kmail and created the user's account. Same problem. I'm going to try the reboot with enforcing...
