Summary
    SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/hald (hald_t) "unlink" to
haldaemon.pid
    (var_run_t).

Detailed Description
    SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/hald. It is not
expected that
    this access is required by /usr/sbin/hald and this access may signal
an
    intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or
    configuration of the application is causing it to require additional
access.

Allowing Access
    Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials.  You could
try to
    restore the default system file context for haldaemon.pid,
restorecon -v
    haldaemon.pid If this does not work, there is currently no automatic
way to
    allow this access. Instead,  you can generate a local policy module
to allow
    this access - see
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385
    Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux
    protection is not recommended. Please file a
    http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this
package.

# lshal
Could not initialise connection to hald.
Normally this means the HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready.


Thanks id advance for your help.
