Description Maciej Żenczykowski 2010-03-25 10:03:50 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /bin/bash "search" access on /home.

Detailed Description:

[prelink has a permissive type (prelink_cron_system_t). This access was not
denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by prelink. It is not expected that this access
is required by prelink 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.

Comment 1 Maciej Żenczykowski 2010-03-25 10:07:09 UTC
$ ls -alZd / /home
dr-xr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:root_t:s0      /
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:home_root_t:s0 /home

I also get a similar error on '/' but that's with '/' as the root of the device mounted at /home.
