Hi David,

Very interesting!  I am the one at Unidata that installed the IDV under
Fedora Core 4 64-bit Linux.  I had no problems doing this, so I was
puzzled by why others were having a problem.  Now I know that it is not
only the LDM that needs SELINIX set to 'disabled'!

>I ended up setting selinux to 'disabled' in /etc/sysconfig/selinux.

And rebooting, yes?

>I will not install selinux at all on future FC
>4  machines.  Is this stated somewhere in the documentation that I
>didn't see?

I can't answer for Don, but I rather doubt it.  It is noted for the
LDM, however.

>Or is this common knowledge to everyone but me?  :-)

Nope, this was a new one for me, at least.  Thanks for figuring this one
out!

Cheers,

Tom
