installed fedora 8, finally, but not with out a few problems and reinstalls.
next to last install was a clean boot straight up to command line login.
first 3 login attempts were as user, then 3 failures as root. 3 finger salute,
rebooted to m2k8 to view f8 logs, which showed error to be pam_unix related.
posted problem, went off list to try a few tricks, concluded had to be
pam_unix and decided that fresh install would be thing to do. clear partition,
reinstalled again.
this time, i disabled selinux so that i could check to see if there might be
other problems. there were not as i was able to login as root.
started kde, made changes to desktop, exited kde, rebooted. logged back in
made a few changes to networking and a couple others. nothing related to
selinux, firewall or anything security related were changed.
rebooted and back into kde, i enabled selinux at enforcing, rebooted. this
time around, tried to login, but was kicked back out. 3 finger again.
on next boot, i went in init 1, checked logs again and found pam_unix was
back to kicking me out.
not to be out done, this time i thought about what was happening i vi'ed a
config file, 'reboot'.
back at login, root was accepted, kde, then 'system | selinux management'.
all looked good, not wanting to change anything yet, i left it as it was and
closed selinux management.
back at desktop, right click for short menu to log out of kde. nothing. left
click. nothing. 3 finger back to cl, reboot, back up level 3. login ok, kde
ok.
other than reading about selinux in 'linux format' mag, i have yet to read any
more about, but i will be.
so, what i would like to know, why is 'enforcing' keeping me from logging in?
in replying, please trim out non relative text. i thank you and so will others.
i look forward to replies to find if this is a bug or a miss config.
i thank you in advance for your time.
later.
