Description of problem: SELinux is preventing sh from 'read' accesses on the file passwd. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that sh should be allowed read access on the passwd 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: # ausearch -c 'sh' --raw | audit2allow -M my-sh # semodule -X 300 -i my-sh.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:boinc_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:sssd_public_t:s0 Target Objects passwd [ file ] Source sh Source Path sh Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-257.fc26.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.11.5-300.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jun 14 19:16:35 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2017-06-22 01:45:20 +08 Last Seen 2017-06-22 01:45:20 +08 Local ID 1dd6882f-fda1-4610-a7de-a84189eb58f7 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1498067120.713:291): avc: denied { read } for pid=2062 comm="sh" name="passwd" dev="sda4" ino=180953 scontext=system_u:system_r:boinc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:sssd_public_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=1 Hash: sh,boinc_t,sssd_public_t,file,read Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-257.fc26.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.9.1 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.11.5-300.fc26.x86_64 type: libreport
