Well since i think am the OP ( as of Original Poster ) the answer is that
nope i can´t . The normal user is even unable to launch the X Windows
since SELinux blocks xauth from writing to his home directory

Attempted this access : write
On this directory : kostas ( actually is /home/kostas , the home
