Description Mikhail 2026-03-30 17:03:41 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing accounts-daemon from 'watch' accesses on the directory /usr/share/accountsservice/interfaces.

*****  Plugin catchall_labels (83.8 confidence) suggests   *******************

If you want to allow accounts-daemon to have watch access on the interfaces directory
Then you need to change the label on /usr/share/accountsservice/interfaces
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/usr/share/accountsservice/interfaces'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: accountsd_var_lib_t, etc_t, var_log_t, xdm_etc_t.
Then execute:
restorecon -v '/usr/share/accountsservice/interfaces'


*****  Plugin catchall (17.1 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that accounts-daemon should be allowed watch access on the interfaces directory 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 'accounts-daemon' --raw | audit2allow -M my-accountsdaemon
# semodule -X 300 -i my-accountsdaemon.pp
