Description of problem: when installing kismet i get an avc selinux denial for /usr/sbin/useradd wanting read/write on file 'faillog' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kismet-0.0.2007.01.R1b-7.fc7 selinux-policy-2.5.8-2.fc7 selinux-policy-targeted-2.5.8-2.fc7 How reproducible: always afaik Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install kismet 2. 3. Actual results: avc denial Expected results: no denial Additional info:
I'm getting the same problem on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (final). My problem isn't with Kismet, but the error is the same: rpm -i software AVC denial warning: SELinux denial useradd access to read and write to faillog. I know that there is a local policy to avoid this denial, but it's not an elegant solution.
