Please attach the AVC messages you are seeing

ausearch -m avc -ts recent

Comment 3 Alex Williamson 2011-02-25 21:06:50 UTC
ausearch just tells me:

# ausearch -m avc -ts recent
<no matches>

But here's what comes up in /var/log/audit/audit.log:

type=USER_AVC msg=audit(1298667909.962:1150): user pid=2153 uid=81 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 msg='avc:  denied  { acquire_svc } for service=uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq spid=20227 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:dnsmasq_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=dbus : exe="/bin/dbus-daemon" sauid=81 hostname=? addr=? terminal=?'

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2011-02-25 21:24:25 UTC
Miroslav can you add:
	
dbus_connect_system_bus(dnsmasq_t)



Can dnsmasq be autostarted by dbus?

Comment 5 Alex Williamson 2011-02-28 13:43:37 UTC
(In reply to comment #4)
> Can dnsmasq be autostarted by dbus?

I have no idea.  I'm just trying to run a local dns caching/multiplexing server, starting via normal init scripts and using dbus to set and clear servers.  I suppose it's possible to launch via dbus, but I've never tried it.

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2011-02-28 18:16:23 UTC
Ok Miroslav lets just add the connect call.

Comment 8 Miroslav Grepl 2011-03-01 14:06:52 UTC
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.7.19-74.el6
