Description Hans de Goede 2008-10-11 21:20:10 UTC
Description of problem:
-After updating me kernel to: 
kernel-2.6.27-3.fc10.x86_64 (from: kernel-2.6.27-0.377.rc8.git1.fc10.x86_64)

vpnc no longer works unless I set selinux in permissive mode, I get the following (relevant) audit messages when this happens:

type=CRED_ACQ msg=audit(1223759855.442:62): user pid=4235 uid=0 auid=500 ses=1 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 msg='op=PAM:setcred acct="root" exe="/usr/bin/sudo" (hostname=localhost.localdomain, addr=127.0.0.1, terminal=/dev/pts/1 res=success)'

With the most important one being:

Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2008-10-12 07:09:07 UTC
Note, the message when trying to run vpnc with selinux enabled is:

[hans@localhost ~]$ sudo vpnc
FATAL: error reading `/proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled' in libgcrypt: Permission denied
Segmentation fault
[hans@localhost ~]$

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2008-10-15 18:02:54 UTC
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.5.12-1.fc10.noarch
