Hi,
I have been using fc3 for a long time b4 i upgraded to fc4.
Ever since i upgraded to fc4 i have been unable to connect to the
internet. I have configured my broadband(BSNL's Dataone) connection to
start up during bootup. During bootup i get the message "Bringing up
ppp0 [ok]". Even in network system configuration shows ppp0 to be
active. By i am not able to browse with firefox or mozilla or lynx.
During bootup there is a message that "Bringing up interface eth0
[failed]". But this has been the message even during FC3, but then i
was able to browse the web. Its able to connect to the internet from
the windows on the same machine. Mine is a Pentium III 500 MHz
machine.
Daemons would generally log the messages in /var/log/messages. See if
there are AVC denied messages in /var/log/audit.log as specified in
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/#sn-audit-daemon. If so
The directory /var/log/audit/ is empty. I think AVC is denied (from
dmesg cmd.) . dmesg cmd. throughs out a lot of text. Here i would like
to qoute the message thats in regards to the SElinux:
......
Security framework v1.0.0 initialised
SELinux: Initialising
SELinux: Starting in permissive mode
selinux_register_security: Registering secondary module capability
......
SELinux : Registering netfilter hooks
.....
security: 3 users, 6 roles, 764 types, 87 bools
security: 55 classes,100131 rules
SELinux: Completing initialization
SELinux: Setting up exisiting superblocks
SELinux: initialized (dev <some name here>, type <some name here>),
uses <some name here>
( and lots of lines like this )
audit(<some number>): avc: denied {transistion} for pid=426 comm="loader" .....
the SELinux policies might be preventing DHCP access if you using it.
You can set disable SELinux protection for DHCP in
system-config-securitylevel or set SELinux itself to permissive to check
this issue
I think SElinux is diabled, thats what /etc/selinux/config tells.
It says:
(many comment lines)
SELINUX=Disabled
(many comment lines)
SELINUX=targeted
i tried #setsebool dhcp_disable_trans=1
it returned "setsebool: SELinux is diabled"
Thank you,
with regards,
ashwin
