Dear all, I had trouble persuading 'fedup --network 20' to run on my f19 laptop. It install all the files and gets ready. Then it boots and gets as far as:
[ OK ] Started trigger flushing of journal to persistent storage [ OK ] Started Forward Password Requests to Plymouth [ OK ] Started Forward Password Requests to Plymouth [ OK] Started Recreate Volatile files and Directories There are then 3 lines of selinux permission denied. But no problem, selinux is set permissive anyway.
Earlier on I see 'dracut-initqueue[400] failed to issue method call: Access denied'
However, when I add selinux=0 to the command line..installation proceeds. This is very odd - selinux was in permissive mode.
I've said this before and I'll say it again...permissive mode does NOT allow ALL access (permissive != disabled, despite what others may say). If you see selinux deny messages, it's still being denied. I've seen this bite people a number of times.
When enforcing=0 it reports denial messages, it does not enforce the denials.

You might be thinking of the application of permissive domains, which largely still causes enforcement of denials to occur.
