Bug 525581

Summary:

SELinux prevented pt_chown from using the terminal 1.

Detailed Description:

SELinux prevented pt_chown from using the terminal 1. In most cases daemons do
not need to interact with the terminal, usually these avc messages can be
ignored. All of the confined daemons should have dontaudit rules around using
the terminal. Please file a bug report
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this selinux-policy.
If you would like to allow all daemons to interact with the terminal, you can
turn on the allow_daemons_use_tty boolean.

Allowing Access:

Changing the "allow_daemons_use_tty" boolean to true will allow this access:
"setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tty=1."

Fix Command:

setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tty=1
