Description of problem:
trying to run 'sudo snapper -c home delete-config'
SELinux is preventing snapperd from using the 'sys_admin' capabilities.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If cree que snapperd debería tener la capacidad de sys_admin de forma predeterminada.
Then debería reportar esto como un error.
Puede generar un módulo de política local para permitir este acceso.
Do
permita el acceso momentáneamente executando:
# grep snapperd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 David Haller 2016-01-24 13:03:54 UTC
Description of problem:
Deleting a snapshot with snapper delete fails because snapperd does not have the sys_admin capability. See previous bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1282836, where the dac_override capability was missing which is fixed in Fedora 23 now, but the fix is incomplete as it doesn't cover all snapper commands.

Attempted to delete a snapshot. Restoring selinux context to /.snapshots did not fix the issue.

Some more information i like to add to this ticket, 
when I try to run `snapper status 65..66` I get SELinux AVC message, with this information, 

``` 
SELinux is preventing snapperd from using the fowner capability.
```

```
# ausearch -c 'snapperd' --raw | audit2allow

#============= snapperd_t ==============
allow snapperd_t NetworkManager_initrc_exec_t:lnk_file getattr;

#!!!! The file '/.snapshots/65/snapshot/etc/firewalld/firewalld.conf' is mislabeled on your system.  
#!!!! Fix with $ restorecon -R -v /.snapshots/65/snapshot/etc/firewalld/firewalld.conf
allow snapperd_t firewalld_etc_rw_t:lnk_file getattr;

#!!!! This avc is allowed in the current policy
allow snapperd_t self:capability sys_admin;
allow snapperd_t self:capability fowner;

#!!!! This avc is allowed in the current policy
allow snapperd_t user_home_dir_t:dir { rmdir create };

#!!!! This avc is allowed in the current policy
