I don't know whether it is related to SELinux or just to the 2.4.16 kernel (or something else entirely). When I try to perform certain tasks (like edit the crontab), I get the message bash: /usr/bin/crontab: Cannot allocate memory dmesg does not have any additional information (such as access denied messages) --- it is blank. I'm not even sure what the 'Cannot allocate memory' message means since my machine has more than 300 meg of RAM, a gigabyte of swap, and not all of the RAM is ever utilized. Although crontab -e doesn't work, vi does (even though the crontab program is attempting to use vi to edit the table).Several other system functions (like installing software using rpm) also fail with the same message.
