My OS is 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686

Many thanks for the fedora-classroom on Sunday without which I would
not have known how to investigate this problem. I'd appreciate your
comment if I have soved this correctly by changing the file context to
mount_exec_t, and if my discovery method was correct. I know that I
also must use semanage to make the fix permanent.

If there is a later policy version, what is the specific package name
to yum update? I have only slow dialup internet connection, so I am
not able to update "everything" until f11 dvd.

David
