[ale] SELinux & OOo

[Thompson Freeman]

Scott

You wouldn't happen to be running Fedora by any chance  
would you?

Reason I ask. On the Fedora list there is a big moaning  
match set off by what sounds like a similar situation.  
There might be a clue in the mess of messages for you, but  
the thread went almost immediately into a "It isn't  
SELinux" "It is SELinux" feces flinging, or at least that  
was the feeling I got. So I'm deleting the thread and have  
missed any possible insights that might have appeared. But  
you can poke through the archives and see if anything  
mentioned helps should you desire.


Wish I had something more responsive and useful.
