problem with internet connection when booting

[Jan Scott]

Hello,

I am using fedora core 4 and I can manually connect to the internet with
the Network Device Control.

However at boot my adsl connection fails with the message:

bringing up interface SKYNET .... /sbin/adsl-start line 215 ... FAILED

I use pppoe adsl en SKYNET is my ISP. Can anyone help me with this
problem? If not how can i disable linux from trying to connect with the
internet at boot time?

Thanks

Jan

It appears to be an SELinux related problem (got a report by another
person about the same problem). You should see audit / avc messages in
/var/log/audit/audit.log (if auditd is running) or in /var/log/messages
(if no auditd runs). With the latest selinux-policy-targeted-1.23.18-17
update the problem should go away (so far the other report). Else you
could boot with kernel parameter "enforcing=0" to see if the problem
persists.

Hi,

I think I was the other person.. I thought it was all good after I installed,
but did not work... maybe I did something wrong... going to try to install
it again and/or try this kernel parameter...
What you got scott? we are in the same boat ..

I got a hint to add 

ONBOOT=no

in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-SKYNET

and then I activate my adsl connection with Network Device Control.

I am new to Linux and I don't understand where I have to change this
kernel parameter " enforcing=0" . But if you succeed let me know.
