Description of problem: systemd-sysctl lacks adequate allowances in selinux-targeted-policy for it to do its job. systemctl --failed shows it to have failed; checking the audit log, we see that it failed as a result of lacking access to the "sys_rawio" capability. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-targeted-3.12.1-183.fc20.noarch How reproducible: systemctl restart systemd-sysctl on a Fedora 20 system having kernel kernel-3.15.10-201.fc20.x86_64 and custom sysctl values in a file under /etc/sysctl.d Steps to Reproduce: 1. Ensure that you have a set of custom sysctl values in a file under /etc/sysctl.d 2. Run systemctl restart systemd-sysctl 3. Note that systemd-sysctl will appear to have failed. Audit log will show that this is due to sys_rawio capability being missing. Using audit2allow to add the following module: module systemd-sysctl-fix 1.0; require { type systemd_sysctl_t; class capability sys_rawio; } #============= systemd_sysctl_t ============== allow systemd_sysctl_t self:capability sys_rawio; resolves the issue. Actual results: systemd-sysctl unable to apply custom sysctl values. Expected results: systemd-sysctl should run successfully. Additional info:
