Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2007-07-14 12:42:01 UTC
The problem here is that acpid.socket is labeled incorrectly
It should be labeled like the following:
ls -lZ /var/run/acpid.socket 
srw-rw-rw-  root root system_u:object_r:apmd_var_run_t /var/run/acpid.socket

This would indicate that acpid is running under the wrong context

ps -eZ | grep acpid
system_u:system_r:kernel_t         50 ?        00:00:00 kacpid
system_u:system_r:apmd_t        21500 ?        00:00:00 acpid

Did you do something to start these apps outside of the init scripts?



Comment 2 Thomas 2007-07-14 16:06:41 UTC
No, I did not, except for th regular uppdate with the Fedora update manager. I
fixed the issue by the rebooting and relabelling routine of SELinux. Frankly, I
have not idea if that is now secure or not, but the issue went away.
