Any idea why the systembus would be looking in your home directories? You can allow this for now by executing # audit2allow -M mypol -i /var/log/audit/audit.log # semodule -i mypol.pp Will be dontaudited in selinux-policy-3.0.8-94.fc8 In order to answer your question, I have investigated this a bit further. It turns out tge systembus isn't actually looking in the home directories, it's looking at /usr/local. Which I also have NFS mounted on this host. So while nothing what I wrote in comment 0 is incorrect, it is misleading. I still don't know why the systembus looks at /usr/local, but it seems to be a reasonable thing for it to do. So maybe it makes more sense for me to allow this locally, rather than for the default policy to hide it. I guess NFS-mounted /usr/local isn't something that is expected by the default policy. Sorry for the noise. |
