Description of problem:
DBUS fails to come up during boot and networkmanager tells me the following:

Feb 24 15:17:07 price NetworkManager: <WARNING>  nm_dbus_get_networks_cb (): nm-dbus-nmi.c:527 (nm_dbus_get_networks_cb): error received: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied - An SELinux policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo" member "getNetworks" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo").

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-2.2.20-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable dbus and SELinux

  

Actual Results:  2. obtain the cryptic message above 

Expected Results:  2. Running DBUS.

What avc messages are you seeing?
Comment 3 David Nielsen 2006-02-24 14:48:52 UTC 
I'm not seeing any avc messages for some reason - all I get is the message
above. I tested with and without SELinux and without dbus starts. The filesystem
is relabeled.
Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2006-02-24 15:43:05 UTC 
semodule -b /usr/share/selinux/targeted/enableaudit.pp

Will turn on all auditing messages.
semodule -b /usr/share/selinux/targeted/base.pp

Turns them back off.

What version of dbus are you running?

I have not seen this here.  But maybe I am not running the same version.

John, 
Have you seen this?
Comment 5 David Nielsen 2006-02-24 16:06:27 UTC 
dbus-0.60-7.2

Attached is everything in the audit.log that pretains to dbus.

grep dbus /var/log/audit/audit.log
Comment 7 John (J5) Palmieri 2006-02-24 16:22:05 UTC 
Works for me.  I have seen issues with NetworkManager but D-Bus starts up fine.
 David can you confirm that D-Bus does not run?  do a 'ps -aux | grep dbus'. 
Also a more complete audit log would be useful.
Comment 8 David Nielsen 2006-02-24 16:37:28 UTC 
Okay now it's just taunting me, dbus is running, the problem must thus be
elsewhere. Why does the boot sequence then tell me that dbus fails I wonder.
