Description of problem: This alert is displayed right after boot when vnstat.service is enabled. However, vnstatd appears to start, despite this warning. SELinux is preventing (vnstatd) from 'mounton' accesses on the directory /run/systemd/unit-root/var/lib/vnstat. ***** Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests ************************ If you want to fix the label. /run/systemd/unit-root/var/lib/vnstat default label should be init_var_run_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 /run/systemd/unit-root/var/lib/vnstat ***** Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that (vnstatd) should be allowed mounton access on the vnstat directory 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 '(vnstatd)' --raw | audit2allow -M my-vnstatd # semodule -X 300 -i my-vnstatd.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:vnstatd_var_lib_t:s0 Target Objects /run/systemd/unit-root/var/lib/vnstat [ dir ] Source (vnstatd) Source Path (vnstatd) Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.14.2-42.fc29.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.18.17-300.fc29.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Nov 5 17:56:16 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 32 First Seen 2018-11-05 15:01:50 PST Last Seen 2018-11-12 02:31:18 PST Local ID bb1a0ad6-3ecb-4666-b7d1-22c00c305c88 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1542018678.432:141): avc: denied { mounton } for pid=972 comm="(vnstatd)" path="/run/systemd/unit-root/var/lib/vnstat" dev="nvme0n1p6" ino=537650597 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:vnstatd_var_lib_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0 Hash: (vnstatd),init_t,vnstatd_var_lib_t,dir,mounton Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.14.2-42.fc29.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.9.6 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.18.17-300.fc29.x86_64 type: libreport

This is still present with selinux-policy-3.14.2-44.fc29 installed. Forced a SELinux relabel run and subsequent reboot, but upon login to Gnome, the SE alert pops up again. vnstatd is running though and appears to be counting packets, only this SE alert keeps popping up (once after a reboot). SELinux is preventing (vnstatd) from mounton access on the directory /run/systemd/unit-root/var/lib/vnstat. ....
