Description Michal Hlavinka 2011-04-13 07:20:59 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/kdm from using the 'getsession' accesses on a process.

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

If you believe that kdm should be allowed getsession access on processes labeled xdm_t 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 kdm /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
