Description Fidel Leon 2014-01-17 14:46:27 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent from using the 'net_admin' capabilities.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that systemd-tty-ask-password-agent should have the net_admin capability by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep systemd-tty-ask /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2014-01-20 09:10:12 UTC
       CAP_NET_ADMIN
              Perform various network-related operations:
              * interface configuration;
              * administration of IP firewall, masquerading, and accounting;
              * modify routing tables;
              * bind to any address for transparent proxying;
              * set type-of-service (TOS)
              * clear driver statistics;
              * set promiscuous mode;
              * enabling multicasting;
              * use setsockopt(2) to set the following socket options: SO_DEBUG, SO_MARK, SO_PRI‐
                ORITY (for a priority outside the range 0 to 6), SO_RCVBUFFORCE,  and  SO_SNDBUF‐
                FORCE.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2014-01-21 15:29:41 UTC
I think this is a kernel issue.  or a glibc issue, I think we are checking net_admin where we do not need to.
