Description Joshua Richter 2025-06-06 18:42:31 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing iio-sensor-prox from using the 'sys_admin' capabilities.

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

If you believe that iio-sensor-prox should have the sys_admin capability 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 'iio-sensor-prox' --raw | audit2allow -M my-iiosensorprox
# semodule -X 300 -i my-iiosensorprox.pp

Hi,

Do you know at which moment this denial appears?
The sys_admin capability is too powerful, cCan you enable full auditing and gather additional information?

Since there is a bug reported already, I’ll go ahead and close it. If it pops again, then I will resubmit.
