Description Bastien Nocera 2010-05-27 01:07:27 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gdm-simple-greeter "read" access on
/var/lib/AccountsService/icons/hadess.

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by gdm-simple-gree. It is not expected that this
access is required by gdm-simple-gree 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.

You can add these rules for now using

# grep avc /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2010-05-27 14:47:01 UTC
Just a note, the "hadess" name is just one of the possible names (that's my login name).

This happens when you set an icon for your user using the accounts dialogue (the AccountsService service will write the icon to /var/lib/AccountsService/icons/<username>).

GDM will then try to read that same filename.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-27 16:16:30 UTC
I am allowing the x login programs to read everything under /var/lib/AccountsService
