Description of problem: When config files reference file paths, the file permission checks performed on the files don't match the error messages used when the checks fail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): audit-1.5.2-1.fc7
Created attachment 153231 [details] Modify the permission checks The attached patch (only compile-tested) makes the permission checks consistent with the messages. I was not sure what the permission requirements actually are, so the changes are just my best guess at the intended semantics.
I applied a variation of this patch to 1.5.3. Thanks for spotting the problem.
audit-1.5.3 was built into rawhide and should solve this problem. Thanks for reporting it.
