I've a bit more work ahead yet. I'm still not getting past the problem with the packages. I do not get the expected role prompt; and newrole goes to the password file, which it shouldn't. This still looks like a wrong package set but everything updates flawlessly from Russell's repository and I cannot see any unexpected version numbers. I've got another system that was built from Colin's old package set some months ago and it works fine. I can't see why one package set works and the other does not. I'd like very much to compare notes with someone else who has installed a virgin debian sid with Russell's new selinux packages on top. What is the most likely package to be the guilty party? Fortuneately the -test10 kernel has made debugging a bit easier on my test box... the NIC's work now. Before the only way to change a package was to boot off an NFS floppy, flatten the whole fs (the small boot kernel couldn't handle the xattr and security attr) and rsync the entire disk. Let's just say that it didn't require a lot of attention but didn't allow for more than one or two test runs in a day... -- ------------------------------------------------------ Dale Amon amon@islandone.org +44-7802-188325 International linux systems consultancy Hardware & software system design, security and networking, systems programming and Admin "Have Laptop, Will Travel" ------------------------------------------------------ -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
