</div>SELinux isn't a Linux distribution; it's a security framework that<br>
permits or disables various actions. If Mike's right, in order to get<br>
the script working it'll need to be patched to use an absolute<br>
pathname. You can disable SELinux on your system entirely (on my<br>
CentOS system, it's controlled via /etc/selinux/config, then a<br>
reboot), but that's a pretty drastic step just to use one perl script.<br>

<br>I posted to the Arch forums and a user responded with this:<br><br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">"The error you are receiving (Insecure dependency in require while
running setgid) has to do with perl's taint mode. The perl interpreter
runs scripts in taint mode if you request it with the -T flag or
automatically if the script file has the setuid or setgid flag set.</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">Taint
mode is meant to be more secure by not trusting any outside input.
Untrusted input like maliciously crafted user input for example. The
setuid or setgid bits for files can be turned on with chmod to allow an
executable to run with the permissions of its owner user or group.</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">So,
according to the error message, you have setgid turned on for the
script file (or its directory?). Is this necessary for MythTV to
work? I've never used it. You could also try replacing the top of the
perl script with something like:"</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">He then instructed me to modify the first line to -Uw, the same as Robert had done earlier in this thread, so no change unfortunately.<br>
