Description Natxo Asenjo 2010-05-31 17:21:22 UTC

Summary:

SELinux is preventing polkitd "connectto" access on /var/lib/sss/pipes/nss.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by polkitd. It is not expected that this access
is required by polkitd 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 2 Miroslav Grepl 2010-06-01 07:25:13 UTC

Which process is running as initrc_t?

# ps -ez | grep initrc


How is '/usr/sbin/sssd' labeled?

# ls -Z /usr/sbin/sssd

(In reply to comment #3)

Oops, I apologize.

# ps -eZ | grep initrc

Could you try to execute

# restorecon -v /usr/sbin/sssd
# ls -Z /usr/sbin/sssd

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2010-06-01 13:25:06 UTC

This looks like sssd is running with the wrong context.

Please fix the label on sssd and restart the daemon is should be running as sssd_t.

ps -eZ | grep sssd

Not sure how you got this mislabeled.  But you might want to run a relabel on your system

# fixfiles restore
