Hi,
I have a problem with selinux. I have an SL4.3 x86_64 system
which will not boot unless I add the selinux=noenforce option
to the boot parameters.

If I don't, the system spews out messages like:

theory kernel: audit(1165745008.891:666254): avc:  denied  { search } for  
pid=16856 comm="portmap" name="bin" dev=sda2 ino=535393 
scontext=user_u:system_r:portmap_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:bin_t tclass=dir

and hangs.

These messages have been happening since Dec 4, and are recorded in 
/var/log/messages every few seconds. The system finally crashed last night 
with a kernel panic, and today I was unable to boot it without making the 
change described above.


Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

Thanks
Eve
