Description Lawrence Graves 2009-12-03 12:00:02 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /sbin/dhclient "write" access on
/var/lib/wifiroamd/dhclient-leases.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by dhclient. It is not expected that this access
is required by dhclient and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is
also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2009-12-03 14:10:26 UTC
For now, could you try to change the context of /var/lib/wifiroamd/ directory using

chcon -t dhcpc_state_t -R /var/lib/wifiroamd/


Is wifiroamd working correctly after that ?

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2009-12-03 15:05:33 UTC
That is the labeling I have made for next release.

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.6.32-54.fc12
