Description Ira Malinich 2010-04-12 21:31:32 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon "getattr" access on
/etc/shadow.

Detailed Description:

[accounts-daemon has a permissive type (accountsd_t). This access was not
denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by accounts-daemon. It is not expected that this
access is required by accounts-daemon 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 Ira Malinich 2010-04-12 21:33:30 UTC
I had installed the accountsdialog and accountsservice packages and used the UI to give myself "administrator" status.  After logging in following a reboot, this AVC message appears.

This message is accompanied by the one in Bug 581660.
