Description of problem: When running snapper -c shared create-config /media/shared # ls -lZd /media/shared drwxr-x---+ 1 andrew andrew system_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0 270 May 23 14:10 /media/shared SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/snapperd from using the 'fowner' capabilities. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that snapperd should have the fowner capability 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: # ausearch -c 'snapperd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-snapperd # semodule -X 300 -i my-snapperd.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:snapperd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:system_r:snapperd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Objects /media/shared [ capability ] Source snapperd Source Path /usr/sbin/snapperd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages snapper-0.4.1-1.fc25.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-225.16.fc25.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.11.3-202.fc25.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 5 16:38:21 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2017-06-13 20:20:10 AEST Last Seen 2017-06-13 20:20:10 AEST Local ID 96e505c0-cc38-40b8-9b53-978cc52ee39e Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1497349210.30:2838): avc: denied { fowner } for pid=16384 comm="snapperd" capability=3 scontext=system_u:system_r:snapperd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:snapperd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=capability permissive=0 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1497349210.30:2838): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EPERM a0=7f907c5df5b0 a1=c0000 a2=7f907c5dfb68 a3=7f9074006f30 items=1 ppid=1 pid=16384 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=snapperd exe=/usr/sbin/snapperd subj=system_u:system_r:snapperd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) type=CWD msg=audit(1497349210.30:2838): cwd=/ type=PATH msg=audit(1497349210.30:2838): item=0 name=/media/shared inode=256 dev=00:2f mode=040750 ouid=1000 ogid=1000 rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:mnt_t:s0 nametype=NORMAL Hash: snapperd,snapperd_t,snapperd_t,capability,fowner Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-225.16.fc25.noarch Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.8.0 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.11.3-202.fc25.x86_64 type: libreport
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
