Description of problem: Configured systemd journal via /etc/systemd/journald.conf Storage=volatile and (recently?) started to get this selinux error SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/journalctl from 'open' accesses on the file /run/log/journal/b531f59d0209d0264a4406bec155a198/system.journal. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that journalctl should be allowed open access on the system.journal 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 journalctl /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:abrt_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:syslogd_var_run_t:s0 Target Objects /run/log/journal/b531f59d0209d0264a4406bec155a198/ system.journal [ file ] Source journalctl Source Path /usr/bin/journalctl Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages systemd-208-9.fc20.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-106.fc20.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 5 14:01:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2013-12-11 17:15:52 CST Last Seen 2013-12-11 17:27:23 CST Local ID 81b02fce-e88e-4a06-87c2-848497570d8c Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1386804443.185:957): avc: denied { open } for pid=19873 comm="journalctl" path="/run/log/journal/b531f59d0209d0264a4406bec155a198/system.journal" dev="tmpfs" ino=7076 scontext=system_u:system_r:abrt_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:syslogd_var_run_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1386804443.185:957): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=yes exit=EAGAIN a0=7f32d1130430 a1=80000 a2=0 a3=6c616e72756f6a2e items=0 ppid=19872 pid=19873 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=journalctl exe=/usr/bin/journalctl subj=system_u:system_r:abrt_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: journalctl,abrt_t,syslogd_var_run_t,file,open Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.9 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64 type: libreport
