[PlanetCCRMA] Fedora Core 7 SELinux

[James Hearon]

Hi,
Tried Fedora Core 7, Kernel for i386, planet apps.  Getting some new error 
re: SELinux and lib text relocation I don't quite understand.
thanks.

Summary
    SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/hydrogen from loading
    /usr/lib/ladspa/sc4m_1916.so which requires text relocation.

Detailed Description
    The /usr/bin/hydrogen application attempted to load
    /usr/lib/ladspa/sc4m_1916.so which requires text relocation.  This is a
    potential security problem. Most libraries do not need this permission.
    Libraries are sometimes coded incorrectly and request this permission.  
The
    http://people.redhat.com/drepper/selinux-mem.html web page explains how 
to
    remove this requirement.  You can configure SELinux temporarily to allow
    /usr/lib/ladspa/sc4m_1916.so to use relocation as a workaround, until 
the
    library is fixed. Please file a
    http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.

Allowing Access
    If you trust /usr/lib/ladspa/sc4m_1916.so to run correctly, you can 
change
    the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t
    /usr/lib/ladspa/sc4m_1916.so"

    The following command will allow this access:
    chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/ladspa/sc4m_1916.so
