Description Reartes Guillermo 2012-10-27 20:46:21 UTC
Description of problem:

It is not currently possible to use 'timedatectl' to change the timezone without setting selinux to permissive (or disabled).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F18b TC6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

# timedatectl 
      Local time: Sat, 2012-10-27 10:24:15 PDT
  Universal time: Sat, 2012-10-27 17:24:15 UTC
        RTC time: Sat, 2012-10-27 17:24:15
        Timezone: America/Los_Angeles
     NTP enabled: no
NTP synchronized: no
 RTC in local TZ: no

# timedatectl set-timezone America/Buenos_Aires
Failed to issue method call: Access denied

# setenforce 0
# timedatectl set-timezone America/Buenos_Aires

# timedatectl 
      Local time: Sat, 2012-10-27 10:24:28 PDT
  Universal time: Sat, 2012-10-27 17:24:28 UTC
        RTC time: Sat, 2012-10-27 17:24:28
        Timezone: America/Buenos_Aires
     NTP enabled: no
NTP synchronized: no
 RTC in local TZ: no
  
Actual results:
selinux must be disabled or set to permissive in order to change
the timezone.

Expected results:
depends.

Additional info:
i tried a 'getsebool -a | grep -i date' and it did not shield any tun-able. Also i don't know what defaults will F18 will have. It currently looks like a bug.
