Forget selinux. Just disable it. I mean, you think of security only after the bleeding
stops, your wounds have healed. (The bleeding that comes from banging your head on the
keyboard in frustration). Since this is xen only mailinglist, I think we can talk about
the situation with selinux disabled.
I bet you have the same eye-level bloody dent in your wall that I do ;-)
Anyway, won't a setenforce 0, completely disable the damn thing?
At least it says so as the output of the command.
That's true, but I regard "turn off security" in the same light as "run
setuid root so you bypass all that permissions stuff." And at least some
of the places I could use this require selinux. setenforce doesn't
disable it, just sets it advisory, which means it still fails and tells
you there's no such file as <whatever> when there is, just where it
should be. Daniel keeps telling me it works for him, so it's some
failure of understanding.
I'll write a detailed post later with exactly my xen experiences, right
now I have to test and evaluate kvm for someone. I will test with
selinux if it works without. There isn't a kvm list yet, but I won't
burden this list with off-topic posts.
