Comment 1 Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2015-09-21 19:31:11 UTC
Actually, it's worse than this;
sudo poweroff doesn't help in this case either:

                exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" sauid=0 hostname=? addr=? terminal=?'
Failed to start poweroff.target: Access denied

(I'm reasonably sure I've had it work once after I upgraded to f23?!)

Can you verify that also selinux-policy is upgraded to version from F23?

[dgilbert@dgilbert-t530 ~]$ rpm -qa selinux-policy
selinux-policy-3.13.1-147.fc23.noarch

looks like it.

I believe this is a duplicate of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1264051. Forced reboot should work around this.
