FAQs & Troubleshooting

I cannot scan when using SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux)

This issue may occur in Fedora 14 or later. Try one of the following solutions:

  • Make sure that SELinux is set to the "permissive" mode and not to the "enforcing" mode.
  • Use the SELinux Troubleshooter tool to change the SELinux security policy.
