Description of problem: Tried to connect to VPN and this popped up. SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/pppd from 'write' accesses on the sock_file . ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that pppd should be allowed write access on the sock_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 pppd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:pppd_var_run_t:s0 Target Objects [ sock_file ] Source pppd Source Path /usr/sbin/pppd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages ppp-2.4.5-34.fc20.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-182.fc20.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.15.10-201.fc20.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 27 21:10:06 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 10 First Seen 2014-08-29 11:08:26 CEST Last Seen 2014-09-03 00:12:35 CEST Local ID b3e0e242-937c-4209-a3a9-2f1fedad0bfb Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1409695955.194:1999): avc: denied { write } for pid=17468 comm="pppd" name="sstpc-nm-sstp-service-17465" dev="tmpfs" ino=370165 scontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:pppd_var_run_t:s0 tclass=sock_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1409695955.194:1999): arch=x86_64 syscall=connect success=no exit=EACCES a0=d a1=7fff5266c870 a2=6e a3=15 items=0 ppid=17465 pid=17468 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=pppd exe=/usr/sbin/pppd subj=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: pppd,pppd_t,pppd_var_run_t,sock_file,write Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.2.3 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.15.10-201.fc20.x86_64 type: libreport
