Description Horst H. von Brand 2011-03-01 18:42:24 UTC

Description of problem:
I logged into Gnome via XDM (GDM is shot right now), and I get:

$ xauth -i -v list
xauth:  /home/vonbrand/.Xauthority not writable, changes will be ignored
$ ls -lZ ~/.Xauthority
-rw-------. vonbrand vonbrand system_u:object_r:xdm_home_t:s0  /home/vonbrand/.Xauthority

SElinux is targeted + enforcing, but sems not to complain.

The "can't write" is total nonsense, as nobody is asking for changes anyway. But it should show its contents.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-xdm-1.1.6-22.fc15.x86_64
xorg-x11-xauth-1.0.2-9.fc15.x86_64
selinux-policy-targeted-3.9.15-2.fc16.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. xauth list
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Error message, can't open ~/.Xauthority for writing

Expected results:


Additional info:
For some strange reasion, ck-list-sessions thinks I'm not local:
$ ck-list-sessions 
Session1:
	unix-user = '501'
	realname = 'Horst H. von Brand'
	seat = 'Seat2'
	session-type = ''
	active = FALSE
	x11-display = ':0'
	x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
	display-device = ''
	remote-host-name = ''
	is-local = FALSE
	on-since = '2011-03-01T18:22:17.471202Z'
	login-session-id = '1'
(Yes, I think I will have to reinstall to fix this one)

Yes, XDM cannot use ConsoleKit. Closing this bug as duplicate of bug 237621.
