SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/sensord from 'write' accesses on the directory /var/log. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that sensord should be allowed write access on the log directory 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 sensord /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:sensord_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 Target Objects /var/log [ dir ] Source sensord Source Path /usr/sbin/sensord Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages lm_sensors-sensord-3.3.3-3.fc19.x86_64 Target RPM Packages filesystem-3.2-13.fc19.x86_64 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-74.15.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.11.10-200.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 2 20:28:03 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-12-16 14:42:01 EET Last Seen 2013-12-16 14:42:01 EET Local ID 09b4fb94-91aa-4ee5-afe5-2af3fd2d9c26 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1387197721.154:744780): avc: denied { write } for pid=13522 comm="sensord" name="log" dev="sda3" ino=3014671 scontext=system_u:system_r:sensord_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1387197721.154:744780): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7fffde3ddf10 a1=242 a2=1b6 a3=7fffde3dba90 items=0 ppid=1 pid=13522 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=sensord exe=/usr/sbin/sensord subj=system_u:system_r:sensord_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: sensord,sensord_t,var_log_t,dir,write Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.9 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.11.10-200.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport
