Description Wolfgang Rupprecht 2016-07-25 11:37:25 UTC
Description of problem:
This occured during normal automatic operation.
SELinux is preventing chronyc from 'write' accesses on the directory chrony.

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

If you believe that chronyc should be allowed write access on the chrony directory 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:
# ausearch -c 'chronyc' --raw | audit2allow -M my-chronyc
# semodule -X 300 -i my-chronyc.pp

I no longer see the original error, but I see this one occasionally now:

SELinux is preventing chronyc from create access on the sock_file chronyc.8214.sock.

Shall I submit a new error report?
