Description of problem: Thanks for the mcelog update. Now, instead of getting email once per hour about the record length mismatch, I'm getting email once per hour saying "mcelog: Cannot open /dev/mem for DMI decoding: Permission denied". :-) At the same time, setroubleshoot reports an AVC denial. Here is a sample: node=localhost.localdomain type=AVC msg=audit(1255028461.197:22962): avc: denied {read} for pid=4650 comm="mcelog" name="mem" dev=tmpfs ino=3086 scontext=system_u:system_r:dmesg_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:memory_device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file node=localhost.localdomain type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1255028461.197:22962): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=yes exit=0 a0=409e28 a1=0 a2=1000 a3=2 items=0 ppid=4649 pid=4650 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=5 comm="mcelog" exe="/usr/sbin/mcelog" subj=system_u:system_r:dmesg_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mcelog-0.9pre1-0.1.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: Once per hour. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install mcelog 2. Wait an hour Actual results: mcelog does not have permission to access /dev/mem and so reports failure. Additionally, setroubleshoot reports the failure. Expected results: mcelog runs without errors. Additional info:
