:SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gdm-session-worker from 'setattr' accesses on the file .xsession-errors.
:
:*****  Plugin catchall_labels (83.8 confidence) suggests  ********************
:
:If you want to allow gdm-session-worker to have setattr access on the .xsession-errors file
:Then you need to change the label on .xsession-errors
:Do
:# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '.xsession-errors'
:where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: fonts_cache_t, xserver_log_t, faillog_t, lastlog_t, xdm_log_t, gnome_home_type, etc_runtime_t, xdm_tmp_t, pcscd_var_run_t, pam_var_run_t, xdm_var_lib_t, xdm_var_run_t, xkb_var_lib_t, xdm_rw_etc_t, gconf_home_t, user_tmpfs_type, xdm_home_t, xdm_lock_t, pam_var_console_t, cgroup_t, locale_t, var_auth_t, user_tmp_t, auth_home_t, xauth_home_t, auth_cache_t, user_fonts_t, xdm_tmpfs_t, xdm_spool_t, krb5_host_rcache_t. 
:Then execute: 
:restorecon -v '.xsession-errors'
:
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (17.1 confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that gdm-session-worker should be allowed setattr access on the .xsession-errors file 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 gdm-session-wor /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2012-08-20 09:47:00 UTC
You will need to execute

# restorecon -R -v /home

to fix this issue.

Comment 2 Pratyush Sahay 2012-08-20 10:58:07 UTC
Thanks for the info.. Thought to add though - this started happening upon creating a new user (standaRD). Every time the standard user logged in, selinux would show up this message on the admin user's account.

Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2012-08-22 12:18:16 UTC
Ok, what is path to your home dirs?

Comment 4 Pratyush Sahay 2012-08-22 13:16:27 UTC
Admin user(ipcv11) home dir: /home/ipcv11. Had created the standard user from "User Accounts" in "System Settings" (Gnome). So, the home dir created for standard user(ipcv2) was: /home/ipcv2.

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2012-09-17 16:47:08 UTC
And it was labeled mnt_t?  This looks strange.
