:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that systemd-logind should have the sys_tty_config capability 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-logind /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Thanks Daniel, I understand now. If I allow it there are no use in reporting it. I was having much trouble and panic I guess. Thanks again.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2012-02-27 17:15:49 UTC
Ok did you add an allow for this?  I see this allowed in F17, not sure if it has been back ported to F16.
