Hi
Read a couple of reviews and blog posts mentioning this, if you use ntp
via firstboot in Fedora 14 and you login, you get SELinux warnings on
login. I tried testing this in a vm and this is very much reproducible
and is such a jarring user experience.
What can we do to avoid these class of problems for the next release?
At release time, the criteria [1] are written to include experiences
like this.
"In most cases, there must be no SELinux 'AVC: denied' messages
or abrt crash notifications on initial boot and subsequent login
(see Blocker_Bug_FAQ)"
The gap here is that we don't spell out all configuration options in
firstboot and whether they should result in a clean login experience.
For something like the issue you mention, it would make a good
discussion topic as to whether it represents a valid release blocker. I
can see arguments for both sides.
Another gap is that we don't actively test/explore all firstboot
configuration options and their impact on setroubleshoot.
Thanks,
James
