:SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-timedated from 'create' accesses on the lnk_file .localtimef5edfe643b2a5c53.
:
:*****  Plugin catchall_labels (83.8 confidence) suggests  ********************
:
:If you want to allow systemd-timedated to have create access on the .localtimef5edfe643b2a5c53 lnk_file
:Then you need to change the label on .localtimef5edfe643b2a5c53
:Do
:# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '.localtimef5edfe643b2a5c53'
:where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: config_usr_t, locale_t. 
:Then execute: 
:restorecon -v '.localtimef5edfe643b2a5c53'
:
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (17.1 confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that systemd-timedated should be allowed create access on the .localtimef5edfe643b2a5c53 lnk_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 systemd-timedat /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 3 Steve Tyler 2012-10-29 15:37:30 UTC
I was running gnome control center as root, because g-c-c wouldn't let me unlock the date & time control as a regular user -- "Unlock" was not sensitive ...

$ sudo gnome-control-center

Comment 4 Steve Tyler 2012-10-29 18:36:15 UTC
This bug and Bug 871150 can also be reproduced from the command line:
$ sudo timedatectl set-timezone 'America/Los_Angeles'

Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2012-10-29 18:50:00 UTC
The problem is the systemd-timedated creates .localtimeXXX link in the /etc, but we are not able to add filename transition for ".localtimeXXX" string.

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2012-10-30 19:43:17 UTC
Lets let it create locale_t lnk_files in /etc

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.11.1-48.fc18.noarch
