Any thoughts on this one? Please enable X support (st_ioports for normal users) in RSBAC kernel config and recompile. X uses direct access to hardware ports, for security reasons this is disabled by default. The program name shown in the log might be misleading. Use the file the symlink points to, and setting attributes will work. However, non-X is hard-compiled into AUTH, so setting attributes will not help you there, only the switch will. > When I can start using X, I guess I'll stick to using RSBAC.
