Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/groupadd from 'write' accesses on the file /etc/group-.

*****  Plugin restorecon (94.8 confidence) suggests   ************************

If you want to fix the label. 
/etc/group- default label should be passwd_file_t.
Then you can run restorecon.
Do
# /sbin/restorecon -v /etc/group-

*****  Plugin catchall_labels (5.21 confidence) suggests   *******************

If you want to allow groupadd to have write access on the group- file
Then you need to change the label on /etc/group-
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/etc/group-'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: afs_cache_t, faillog_t, initrc_tmp_t, lastlog_t, passwd_file_t, puppet_tmp_t, security_t, shadow_t, user_cron_spool_t, user_tmp_t. 
Then execute: 
restorecon -v '/etc/group-'


*****  Plugin catchall (1.44 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that groupadd should be allowed write access on the group- 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 groupadd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

If you want to fix the label. 
/etc/group- default label should be passwd_file_t.
Then you can run restorecon.
Do
# /sbin/restorecon -v /etc/group-

Comment 2 Vít Ondruch 2014-07-15 11:54:59 UTC
I have not created the file by myself to my knowledge, so how it could get wrong label? You suggest to fix the consequences not the reason. Sorry if I am missing something obvious ...

Comment 3 Vít Ondruch 2014-07-15 11:57:10 UTC
JFTR, this is quite fresh installed Rawhide machine, so may be Anaconda or something else is creating this file with wrong label?

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2014-07-15 21:35:53 UTC
With an unconfined domain just about everything that can create this file would with the right label.  Potentially it could have been a relabel.  I know there was a bug in anaconda/rpm that was creating files with the wrong labels, could have been caused by that.
