Bug 573646

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/boinc_client "getattr" access on /dev/pts/ptmx.

Detailed Description:

[boinc_client has a permissive type (boinc_t). This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by boinc_client. It is not expected that this
access is required by boinc_client 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.
