Description Pablo Barros 2010-12-28 10:46:16 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python from 'read' accesses on the file /etc/localtime.

*****  Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests  *************************

If you want to fix the label. 
/etc/localtime default label should be locale_t.
Then you can run restorecon.
Do
# /sbin/restorecon -v /etc/localtime

*****  Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that python should be allowed read access on the localtime file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep /usr/bin/python /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2010-12-28 13:11:40 UTC
Did you run the restorecon as suggested in the alert?

Comment 2 Pablo Barros 2010-12-28 15:06:15 UTC
Yes, and other alerts (for other programs trying to access the same file) keep appearing. This is a fresh Fedora 14 install.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2010-12-28 20:03:11 UTC
ls -lZ /etc/localtime

restorecon -v /etc/localtime
