Bug 634650

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /sbin/usbhid-ups "read write" access to device 104.

Detailed Description:

[usbhid-ups has a permissive type (nut_upsdrvctl_t). This access was not
denied.]

SELinux has denied usbhid-ups "read write" access to device 104. 104 is
mislabeled, this device has the default label of the /dev directory, which
should not happen. All Character and/or Block Devices should have a label. You
can attempt to change the label of the file using restorecon -v '104'. If this
device remains labeled device_t, then this is a bug in SELinux policy. Please
file a bg report. If you look at the other similar devices labels, ls -lZ
/dev/SIMILAR, and find a type that would work for 104, you can use chcon -t
SIMILAR_TYPE '104', If this fixes the problem, you can make this permanent by
executing semanage fcontext -a -t SIMILAR_TYPE '104' If the restorecon changes
the context, this indicates that the application that created the device,
created it without using SELinux APIs. If you can figure out which application
created the device, please file a bug report against this application.

Allowing Access:

Attempt restorecon -v '104' or chcon -t SIMILAR_TYPE '104'

#============= nut_upsdrvctl_t ==============
#!!!! The source type 'nut_upsdrvctl_t' can write to a 'chr_file' of the following types:
# devtty_t, usb_device_t, initrc_devpts_t, tty_device_t, null_device_t, zero_device_t
