selinux SETroubleshooting is triggered using QEMU - Creating Virtual System - Each time I try to run Virtual Machine Manager it hangs; along with this error: Summary SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon (consolekit_t) "ptrace" access to <Unknown> (unconfined_t). Detailed Description SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon. It is not expected that this access is required by /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon 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. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package. Allowing Access Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for <Unknown>, restorecon -v <Unknown>. There is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 - or you can disable SELinux protection entirely for the application. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package. Changing the "consolekit_disable_trans" boolean to true will disable SELinux protection this application: "setsebool -P consolekit_disable_trans=1." The following command will allow this access: setsebool -P consolekit_disable_trans=1 Additional Information Source Context system_u:system_r:consolekit_t Target Context root:system_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh Target Objects None [ process ] Affected RPM Packages ConsoleKit-0.1.3-0.git20070301.1.fc7 [application] Policy RPM selinux-policy-2.5.6-1.fc7 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Permissive Plugin Name plugins.disable_trans Host Name fedora Platform Linux fedora 2.6.19-1.2914.fc7 #1 SMP Fri Jan 26 18:42:25 EST 2007 i686 i686 Alert Count 3 First Seen Sat 10 Mar 2007 07:57:16 PM EST Last Seen Sat 10 Mar 2007 11:11:22 PM EST Local ID af261170-d0fe-4bd1-82ca-4e3f98411c5c Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages avc: denied { ptrace } for comm="console-kit-dae" egid=0 euid=0 exe="/usr/sbin /console-kit-daemon" exit=1137 fsgid=0 fsuid=0 gid=0 items=0 pid=2288 scontext=system_u:system_r:consolekit_t:s0 sgid=0 subj=system_u:system_r:consolekit_t:s0 suid=0 tclass=process tcontext=root:system_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tty=(none) uid=0 Also, please note that I am seeing a ton of exim errors as well.

Fixed in selinux-policy-2.5.8-1.fc7
Should be fixed in the current release
