Bug 2453273

Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing gmain from 'watch' accesses on the directory /usr/share/accountsservice/interfaces.

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

If you want to allow gmain 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 gmain 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 'gmain' --raw | audit2allow -M my-gmain
# semodule -X 300 -i my-gmain.pp
