Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald from 'getattr' accesses on the file /var/log/journal/d35a0c08f044479785155608609bd598/user-1003.journal. ***** Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests ************************ If you want to fix the label. /var/log/journal/d35a0c08f044479785155608609bd598/user-1003.journal default label should be var_log_t. Then you can run restorecon. The access attempt may have been stopped due to insufficient permissions to access a parent directory in which case try to change the following command accordingly. Do # /sbin/restorecon -v /var/log/journal/d35a0c08f044479785155608609bd598/user-1003.journal ***** Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that systemd-journald should be allowed getattr access on the user-1003.journal 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 'systemd-journal' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemdjournal # semodule -X 300 -i my-systemdjournal.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:syslogd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 Target Objects /var/log/journal/d35a0c08f044479785155608609bd598/ user-1003.journal [ file ] Source systemd-journal Source Path /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-283.30.fc27.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.15.17-300.fc27.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Apr 12 18:19:17 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 874 First Seen 2017-09-03 13:56:04 PDT Last Seen 2018-04-22 10:34:49 PDT Local ID 91cd2140-7819-4977-bdb9-e5baff8508dc Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1524418489.325:347): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=971 comm="systemd-journal" path="/var/log/journal/d35a0c08f044479785155608609bd598/user-1003.journal" dev="dm-0" ino=4116321 scontext=system_u:system_r:syslogd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 Hash: systemd-journal,syslogd_t,unlabeled_t,file,getattr Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.13.1-283.30.fc27.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.9.3 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.15.17-300.fc27.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 1284064
