rawhide 20060213 -- SELinux "denied" audit messages

[Miles Lane]

Hello Rahul,

Yes, I have a TON of AVC messages.  I looked at the SELinux
troubleshooting information, and didn't find it very helpful.  It
talks about AVC messages, but doesn't cover my situation, afaict.  The
list of messages below were generated and "touch /.autorelabel",
reboot, and with SELinux in permissive mode (I'll file a bug report):
