Updated setroubleshoot packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The setroubleshoot packages provide tools to help diagnose SELinux problems. When Access Vector Cache (AVC) messages are generated, an alert can be displayed that provides information about the problem and helps track its resolution. Alerts are user-configurable. The same tools can be run on existing log files.
