Greetings; Running 2.6.23 here, on a AMD XP-2800, gig of ram, lots of drive. I thought maybe I should give selinux another chance here. So I removed the selinux=0 in my grub.conf, and edited its .conf file in /etc/sysconfig to set it for permissive. On the reboot, the relabel wasn't done, so I looked around and reset a fresh /.autorelabel file and rebooted again. It was already present however. This time it did a very short autorelabel, maybe 2 screens full and was done in just a couple of seconds, at which point it went into yet another reboot cycle making me think it was stuck in a loop or something. But the next reboot then had auditd advise me there was an error in line 16 of /etc/audit/auditd.rules. ------------ # This file contains the auditctl rules that are loaded # whenever the audit daemon is started via the initscripts. # The rules are simply the parameters that would be passed # to auditctl. # First rule - delete all -D # Increase the buffers to survive stress events. # Make this bigger for busy systems -b 320 # Feel free to add below this line.

FWIW, I am not running a dhcp network, just a server so my lappy can log in. Everything else is in my /etc/hosts file. Watching the audit.log with a tail, res=success seems to be a 100% answer so far. 1. The last time I watched an autorelabel, it took about 10 minutes, why was it done this time in <2 secs? 2. What can I do about the rules error? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
