MySQL 4.1.9 avc denied messages

[Robert L Cochran]

The following "avc denied" messages were recorded after upgrading 
MySQL-client-4.1.8 and MySQL-devel-4.1.8 to the corresponding 4.1.9 
versions. After upgrading these, I additionally installed (for the first 
time) MySQL-server-4.1.9 and MySQL-shared-4.1.9. These are all binary 
x86 RPM packages downloaded from MySQL.com. They are running on a Fedora 
Core 3 system fully updated including the 741 kernel.

My question is: can I fix the problems brought up by these avc denied 
messages by following the same advice given earlier to the poster named 
"dragoran" from 11/10/2004 through 11/16/2004, in several messages with 
the subject line "PHP cannot connect to mysql server?" I wish to allow 
MySQL execute permission.

Any help gratefully accepted.

Thanks!
