However, once again, I cannot get past a certain problem, at login time after rebooting, I try to login as root, and it says it cannot determine a security context for me, and do I wish to specify one. I say y (which is default), I type sysadm_r and type of sysadm_t (I also tried the user_r and user_t as well), and it responds with invalid security context, and I try again. So I reboot into selinux single mode, and this is ok, I check the the selinuxfs has been mounted (of which it has) and all the directories seem to be there. As a note, my context at this point is kernel_t. Does anyone know what I might have done wrong? I also believe that the initrd I created using the one supplied with the patched differences in the download from nsa creates a valid linuxrc file of which I have checked, but are you supposed to see the output of the initrd's echo statements at boot time, because I dont? ( ie : echo Loading Policy) Cheers and thanx in advance Jason -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
