Description of problem: SELinux blocks systemd when restarting service. SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald from using the 'dac_override' capabilities. ***** Plugin dac_override (91.4 confidence) suggests ********************** If you want to help identify if domain needs this access or you have a file with the wrong permissions on your system Then turn on full auditing to get path information about the offending file and generate the error again. Do Turn on full auditing # auditctl -w /etc/shadow -p w Try to recreate AVC. Then execute # ausearch -m avc -ts recent If you see PATH record check ownership/permissions on file, and fix it, otherwise report as a bugzilla. ***** Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that systemd-journald should have the dac_override 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 '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:system_r:syslogd_t:s0 Target Objects Unknown [ capability ] Source systemd-journal Source Path /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM <Unknown> Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.18.16-300.fc29.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Oct 20 23:24:08 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2018-12-10 11:49:27 GMT Last Seen 2018-12-10 11:49:27 GMT Local ID 043fed95-e8db-4c21-a8e2-922056e9f47e Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1544442567.790:412): avc: denied { dac_override } for pid=850 comm="systemd-journal" capability=1 scontext=system_u:system_r:syslogd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:syslogd_t:s0 tclass=capability permissive=0 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1544442567.790:412): arch=x86_64 syscall=openat success=no exit=EACCES a0=ffffff9c a1=56206dc3d8f0 a2=80901 a3=0 items=1 ppid=1 pid=850 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=systemd-journal exe=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald subj=system_u:system_r:syslogd_t:s0 key=(null) type=CWD msg=audit(1544442567.790:412): cwd=/ Hash: systemd-journal,syslogd_t,syslogd_t,capability,dac_override Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.9.6 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.18.16-300.fc29.x86_64 type: libreport
