cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied

HarryBoy · 11-25-2009, 06:31 AM

I got the following error when running a program from the commandline:

/lib/libdhuser.so.1: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied

I googled this and to solve it I ran the following command as 'root'
/usr/sbin/setenforce 0

This sets mu Linux to turn off 'enforcing'

What is enforcing? and why did this error come up only in the above /lib/libdhuser.so.1:??

Thanks

'Enforcing' is one of the modes of selinux. There are 3 modes available:

- disabled
- permissive (monitoring but not acting)
- enforcing (monitoring and enforcing selinux policies)

There probably isn't a policy for /lib/libdhuser.so.1 so you may want to set selinux to disabled or permissive permanently until you can read up on it, on the RHEL/Fedora family you can edit /etc/sysconfig/selinux.
