| Doc Text: |
Cause:
When the pam_tty_audit pam module is enabled for a user session, systemd needs the audit_control capability to be able to control kernel audit configuration and rules. This capability was not allowed,
Consequence:
The systemd user manager fails to start, errors are logged and AVC denials audited.
Graphical display managers do not work any longer as they use a systemd user session to spawn the greeter.
Fix:
The capability was added to the policy conditionally: it is required to turn on the new init_audit_control boolean which is off by default.
Result:
Uses can use the graphical user interface.
