Description Richard P. Spillane 2011-01-19 22:43:13 UTC
SELinux is preventing /sbin/consoletype from 'read' accesses on the file /home_private/rick/.xsession-errors.

*****  Plugin catchall_labels (83.8 confidence) suggests  ********************

If you want to allow consoletype to have read access on the .xsession-errors file
Then you need to change the label on /home_private/rick/.xsession-errors
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/home_private/rick/.xsession-errors'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: anon_inodefs_t, sysctl_crypto_t, user_cron_spool_t, consoletype_exec_t, abrt_t, lib_t, afs_cache_t, abrt_helper_exec_t, ld_so_t, textrel_shlib_t, rpm_script_tmp_t, etc_t, consoletype_t, ld_so_cache_t, printconf_t, proc_xen_t, abrt_var_run_t, pam_var_run_t. 
Then execute: 
restorecon -v '/home_private/rick/.xsession-errors'


*****  Plugin catchall (17.1 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that consoletype should be allowed read access on the .xsession-errors 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 consoletype /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-01-20 08:57:47 UTC
You need to tell SELinux to label /home_private dir as /home dir. Execute

# semanage fcontext -a -e /home /home_private
# restorecon -R -v /home_private

Will fix.

Comment 4 Richard P. Spillane 2011-01-20 14:34:10 UTC
Thank you Miroslav, I did what you said and hopefully it will work.  It looks as though SELinux needs to be told that /home moved to /home_private based on what you are saying.  Thank you.
