Description Christopher Aillon 2007-03-24 18:36:35 UTC
Only going to paste one, but I get three separate avc messages preventing
"write" "ioctl" and "read". 

Summary
    SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/hal-system-sonypic (hald_t) "write" to
    sonypi (v4l_device_t).

Detailed Description
    SELinux denied access requested by /usr/libexec/hal-system-sonypic. It is
    not expected that this access is required by /usr/libexec/hal-system-sonypic
    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.

Allowing Access
    Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials.  You could try to
    restore the default system file context for sonypi, restorecon -v sonypi If
    this does not work, 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 altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is
    not recommended. Please file a
    http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2007-04-05 14:43:57 UTC
Fixed in selinux-policy-2.5.11-4.fc7

Comment 2 Matthew Miller 2007-04-10 16:26:52 UTC
Fedora 7 test bugs should be filed against "devel", not against test1/2/3. This
isn't obvious, I know. Moving this report so it isn't lost.

This is a bulk message -- I apologize if this was actually meant to be targeted
against a different release. If so, please fix or let me know. Thanks.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2007-08-22 14:15:44 UTC
Should be fixed in the current release
