I'd like to run SELinux on my CentOS server in enforcing mode, but I get the above message when I run sealert. I assume this is because I am accessing the server from my laptop?

Am I right in thinking the message arises from my remote connection? And if so, is there a simple solution?
Too little information at present to tell.
Does it work if the system is in permissive?
The CentOS server is running with SELinux in permissive mode. I would prefer to run it in enforcing mode, and to that end would like to solve the problem above.
Just to be clear - does it work (X forwarding) as it is now with the system in permissive mode ... Does it only fail after you go setenforce 1 ?
The system works perfectly (with X forwarding) in permissive mode. I haven't tried it in enforcing mode, as it is a remote server and it would be inconvenient if I could not communicate with it.
It has been suggested to me that the problem has nothing to do with selinux. The reason I thought there was a connection is that the warning only appears in the output of sealert.
