Description Dave Malcolm 2006-09-20 14:22:21 UTC 
Description of problem:
Starting evolution from the terminal, this message appears on startup, and
repeats every few seconds:
libnm_glib_dbus_init: error, org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied raised:
 An SELinux policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this
recipient (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.DBus" member "Hello"
error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.DBus")

This is with default SELinux settings i.e. targetted policy, with enforcing on.
 I believe everything is properly labelled.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
evolution-2.8.0-3.fc6
NetworkManager-0.6.4-5.fc6
dbus-0.92-1.fc6


How reproducible:
100%

Additional info:
"ps axZ" shows evolution is running in "user_u:system_r:unconfined_t"
and that NetworkManager is running in "system_u:system_r:initrc_t"

Looks similar to bug 207221
Comment 1 Dave Malcolm 2006-09-21 18:16:09 UTC 
Turns out I didn't have selinux-policy-targeted installed.

Now installed, and fs relabelled.  
Will retry on next reboot.

Sorry for the noise
Comment 2 Matthew Barnes 2006-09-21 18:46:08 UTC 
For what it's worth, I haven't been seeing those messages and NetworkManager is
running in "system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t" on my machine.  But I know next
to nothing about SELinux.
Comment 3 Dave Malcolm 2006-09-22 00:05:41 UTC 
Somehow I didn't have selinux-policy-targeted installed.
Upon installing, relabelling the filesystem, and rebooting, NetworkManager is
now in the correct domain (as in comment #2), and the evolution messages go away.
