Description of problem: No idea how this happened. SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/dbus-daemon from 'bind' accesses on the netlink_selinux_socket . ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that dbus-daemon should be allowed bind access on the netlink_selinux_socket 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 dbus-daemon /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Objects [ netlink_selinux_socket ] Source dbus-daemon Source Path /usr/bin/dbus-daemon Port <Neznámé> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages dbus-1.6.12-1.fc19.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-74.12.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.11.7-200.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Nov 4 14:09:03 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 3 First Seen 2013-11-10 10:45:05 CET Last Seen 2013-11-14 21:37:19 CET Local ID d0109cb2-5443-4feb-8070-5751e523b48f Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1384461439.29:592): avc: denied { bind } for pid=27121 comm="dbus-daemon" scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=netlink_selinux_socket type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1384461439.29:592): arch=x86_64 syscall=bind success=yes exit=0 a0=5 a1=7fffa890b000 a2=c a3=7fffa890adc0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=27121 auid=4294967295 uid=42 gid=42 euid=42 suid=42 fsuid=42 egid=42 sgid=42 fsgid=42 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=dbus-daemon exe=/usr/bin/dbus-daemon subj=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: dbus-daemon,xdm_t,xdm_t,netlink_selinux_socket,bind Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.9 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.11.7-200.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 989788
