Comment 1 Stef Walter 2015-11-09 13:00:51 UTC
Fedora 23 bug here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1279430

Comment 3 Milos Malik 2015-11-09 13:45:01 UTC
Which version of cockpit did you use? And what action triggered the AVC?

Comment 4 Stef Walter 2015-11-09 14:52:00 UTC
This is an indevelopment version of cockpit. We would like the next version to be able to write to /run/cockpit-ws

Currently Cockpit on RHEL fails due to cockpit-ws trying to write to /tmp. We would like to consolidate the runtime files in /run/cockpit-ws instead:

Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2015-12-18 14:59:28 UTC
We would back port all Fedora changes to RHEL-7.3.
