The system is FC5 on a 2 x pentium III server. demsg and /var/log/messages show many entries of the following format:

audit(1157383402.314:193): avc: denied { setattr } for pid=3130 comm="rsync" name="grub" dev=sda2 ino=983044 scontext=user_u:system_r:hotplug_t:s0 tcontext=system_ubject_r:file_t:s0 tclass=dir

They are apparently related to selinux, what do they mean?

I 'copied' the system from one partition to another. Did this totally destroy the selinux base? If so is there a way to re-initialize selinux?

Thanks, Dan

Here are some more messages. They appear to be associated with yum? Does anyone know what these messages mean or where they can be diagnosed?

Thanks - Dan
