Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/lightdm from 'append' accesses on the file .xsession-errors. ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (89.3 confidence) suggests ****************** If you want to support NFS home directories Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'use_nfs_home_dirs' boolean. You can read 'None' man page for more details. Do setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1 ***** Plugin catchall (11.6 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that lightdm should be allowed append access on the .xsession-errors 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 lightdm /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:object_r:nfs_t:s0 Target Objects .xsession-errors [ file ] Source lightdm Source Path /usr/sbin/lightdm Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages lightdm-1.6.3-2.fc19.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-74.10.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.11.6-200.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 18 22:34:18 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-11-04 08:24:01 EST Last Seen 2013-11-04 08:24:01 EST Local ID be8adc5d-d739-4f43-8fef-bf8bf287523c Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1383571441.773:818): avc: denied { append } for pid=17380 comm="lightdm" name=".xsession-errors" dev="0:61" ino=272987 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1383571441.773:818): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=db5bd0 a1=441 a2=180 a3=38f301b2e0 items=0 ppid=17298 pid=17380 auid=1012 uid=1012 gid=1012 euid=1012 suid=1012 fsuid=1012 egid=1012 sgid=1012 fsgid=1012 ses=70 tty=(none) comm=lightdm exe=/usr/sbin/lightdm subj=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: lightdm,xdm_t,nfs_t,file,append Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.2.0 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.13.7-200.fc20.x86_64 type: libreport
