setroubleshoot error report

What actions did you perform to trigger this behaviour? Thanks.

Well, I didn't really do anything, but I think it's caused by an NFS automount
that was already mounted.  In other words, the denial warning didn't appear
directly in response to my action.

If it makes any difference, I had resumed from standby (it's a laptop) and had
to restart NetworkManager in order to pickup the wireless network again.  I
didn't do anything directly related to the automounted NFS directory, though.

Just noticed that it does seem to be triggered when gnome-vfs is invoked by (for
instance) an open file dialog window in Firefox.

I have a music dir in an nfs share mounted by autofs. When I open the file
browser of the music application in order to load a new music list, this selinux
denial is triggered.

I get this, usually on boot:

Summary

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/hald (hald_t) "getattr" access to /etc/auto.misc
(automount_etc_t).

Detailed Description

SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/hald. It is not expected that this
access is required by /usr/sbin/hald and this access may signal an intrusion
attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the
application is causing it to require additional access. Please file a bug report
against this package.Allowing AccessSometimes labeling problems can cause
SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for
/etc/auto.misc, restorecon -v /etc/auto.misc. There is currently no automatic
way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to
allow this access - see FAQ - or you can disable SELinux protection entirely for
the application. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a
bug report against this package. Changing the "hald_disable_trans" boolean to
true will disable SELinux protection this application: "setsebool -P
hald_disable_trans=1."The following command will allow this access:setsebool -P
hald_disable_trans=1

This is now allowed in the upstream versions and since FC6 is no longer
supported.  Closing Next Release.
