Description of problem: SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/vsftpd. It is not expected that this access is required by /usr/sbin/vsftpd and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): vsftpd-2.0.5-8 [application], selinux-policy-2.4.6-1.fc6 . Selinux Enabled:True , Policy Type:targeted How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. From menubar of a client PC select: Places->Connet to server on pop-up windows select FTP (with login) insert: Server: hostname of server Folder: /home/userhomedir User Name: userhomedir than press button Connect 2. 3. Actual results: SELinux is preventing access to /home/lost+found Expected results: No errors, with following following SElinux policy setted: Allow ftp to read/write files in the user home directories. Additional info:
This is not a bug. Selinux implicit denied access to home dirs. Please allow ftp write/read files in user home directories in SELinux. /home/lost+found is system directory on ext3 partition with read permissions only for root. You don't have access to this directory by ftp.

Hi Maros, I had already setted the SElinux policy for the ftp before the use of the ftp client. I did all step again to reproduce the problem with more info, you can see the description in the attached file 'Step by step description of problem', the file is a gzipped odt document with some shoot. I hope it's enought for testing. Many thanks, -mr
Hi Maurizio, thanks for document, but I think, this is not problem in vsftpd, try to connect in other client (lftp, ftp, tftp ..) please and paste me your results.

I agree with you Maros, it seems that the problem is about nautilus maybe ... This is my tests result: In the terminal window using ftp client there is no problem, all is ok. Using gftp program it's the same, I did file transfer without any selinux warning.
