Description of problem: Often I start ssh-agent from one session and expect to be able to use it from a different session. I do this by: ssh-agent > .ssh-agent . .ssh-agent ssh-add (next session): . .ssh-agent But now policy prevents me from doing this. Well, I can 'ssh-agent |cat >.ssh-agent' but it's a bit of a hack. Also my .xsession-errors file has not been updated since I turned on SELinux, and I expect it is the same problem. Starting a VNC session certainly prevents the equivalent file (~/.vnc/$machine:$display.log) getting written. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): policy-1.11.1-2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: $ id -Z user_u:user_r:user_t $ ssh-agent > ~/.ssh-agent Actual results: This comes from 'ssh-agent > .ssh-agent': audit(1081962293.040:0): avc: denied { write } for pid=4124 exe=/usr/bin/ssh-agent path=/home/tim/.ssh-agent dev=hda6 ino=245634 scontext=user_u:user_r:user_ssh_agent_t tcontext=user_u:object_r:user_home_t tclass=file This comes from starting a VNC session: audit(1081961465.310:0): avc: denied { append } for pid=3370 exe=/usr/bin/ssh-agent path=/home/tim/.vnc/cyberelk.elk:1.log dev=hda6 ino=244821 scontext=user_u:user_r:user_ssh_agent_t tcontext=user_u:object_r:user_home_t tclass=file audit2allow says: allow user_ssh_agent_t user_home_t:file { append write };
