Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

selinux-policy-targeted-1.23.12-4: /proc {search} failures ?: msg#00183

Subject: selinux-policy-targeted-1.23.12-4: /proc {search} failures ?
Running targeted/enforcing, latest rawhide.

Rebooting after today's updates (including .1261 and
selinux-policy-targeted-1.23.12-4), graphical logins fail.

Looks like search access to /proc/PROCESS-ID directories are failing.
(Also show an early hotplug attempt at writing to sysfs_t).

I worked around this by doing an 'ALT-CTL-F2', and logging in on the
text console, and doing a 'setenforce 0'. Reverting to graphical via
'ALT-CTL-F7' now  allows login.

/var/log messages show a very large number of avcs, including many
that look like:

etc. etc.

Is this a policy change, or did something else change? Or, did I just
botch it again?

thanks,
