Bug 592629

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gdm-session-worker "read write" access on
/root.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by gdm-session-wor. It is not expected that this
access is required by gdm-session-wor 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.

#============= xdm_t ==============
#!!!! The source type 'xdm_t' can write to a 'dir' of the following types:
# xdm_home_t, pam_var_console_t, pcscd_var_run_t, xkb_var_lib_t, xdm_rw_etc_t, var_lock_t, root_t, tmp_t, var_t, user_fonts_t, user_tmpfs_t, user_home_dir_t, xdm_spool_t, fonts_cache_t, locale_t, var_auth_t, tmpfs_t, var_spool_t, user_tmp_t, auth_cache_t, xdm_tmpfs_t, var_lib_t, var_run_t, xdm_tmp_t, xserver_log_t, var_log_t, xdm_log_t, pam_var_run_t, xdm_var_lib_t, xdm_var_run_t

allow xdm_t admin_home_t:dir { read write };
