Thank you Alec and Troy,

but on the machines with selinux enforcing I have done :

setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1

long ago and I have no problem with those machines.


The problem was with machines with selinux *disabled*.

       I agree but I can't do 'setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1' when
       selinux is disabled :

       setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1

       I got :

       setsebool: SELinux is disabled.


       Anyway  I only got the messages after the update, and I  don't
       see them any longer.
