Description Prarit Bhargava 2025-05-18 15:44:26 UTC
Description of problem:
I started my system after an update.
SELinux is preventing tuned-ppd from 'write' accesses on the sock_file /var/lib/sss/pipes/nss.

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

If you believe that tuned-ppd should be allowed write access on the nss sock_file 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 'tuned-ppd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-tunedppd
# semodule -X 300 -i my-tunedppd.pp
