Description Lukas Bezdicka 2011-03-01 07:52:28 UTC
SELinux is preventing systemd-readahe from 'write' accesses on the directory /var/spool/cron.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that systemd-readahe should be allowed write access on the cron directory 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 systemd-readahe /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

You can try to install the latest F15 policy from koji for now
