Hi Mark;
Here too. I ended up removing FS from the desktops, but on the server
it seems to be working. That may be because I haven't rebooted yet.
I'll be wathing this thread, hopefully there is a resolution.
-P
I tracked the problem with firestarter down to /etc/dhclient-exit-hooks
which contains the line "sh /etc/firestarter/firestarter.sh start" which
starts firestarter independed of the firestater init script. Removing
this line solves the selinux errors and the firewall policy still seems
to be in effect. I am theroizing that the line above is executed when
the dhclient daemon attempts to shutdown as well as start thus
attempting to start the firewall while closing the interface. I think
this is what selinux is flagging. I haven't checked to see if there is
a reason for that command yet.
