Description of problem: SELinux is preventing certwatch from 'write' accesses on the directory /sys/kernel/config. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that certwatch should be allowed write access on the config 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 'certwatch' --raw | audit2allow -M my-certwatch # semodule -X 300 -i my-certwatch.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:certwatch_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:configfs_t:s0 Target Objects /sys/kernel/config [ dir ] Source certwatch Source Path certwatch Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.14.1-48.fc28.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 4.19.6-200.fc28.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Dec 2 18:03:32 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 12 First Seen 2018-12-12 03:11:06 EST Last Seen 2018-12-12 03:11:06 EST Local ID 15f23a12-de17-48da-88b0-44ade93fe810 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1544602266.802:47555): avc: denied { write } for pid=7441 comm="certwatch" name="/" dev="configfs" ino=15693 scontext=system_u:system_r:certwatch_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:configfs_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0 Hash: certwatch,certwatch_t,configfs_t,dir,write Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.14.1-48.fc28.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.9.5 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 4.19.6-200.fc28.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 1655354
