Description of problem: I was accessing files in another user's home directory where I was granted access to read some photo files, and the Nemo thumbnailer process was reading the images to produce a preview in the file browser. SELinux is preventing blocking-1 from 'connectto' accesses on the unix_stream_socket /run/systemd/userdb/io.systemd.Machine. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that blocking-1 should be allowed connectto access on the io.systemd.Machine unix_stream_socket by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # ausearch -c 'blocking-1' --raw | audit2allow -M my-blocking1 # semodule -X 300 -i my-blocking1.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:thumb_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:system_r:systemd_machined_t:s0 Target Objects /run/systemd/userdb/io.systemd.Machine [ unix_stream_socket ] Source blocking-1 Source Path blocking-1 Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-42.19-1.fc43.noarch Local Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-42.19-1.fc43.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 6.17.12-300.fc43.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sat Dec 13 05:06:24 UTC 2025 x86_64 Alert Count 1015 First Seen 2025-12-26 19:57:11 GMT Last Seen 2026-01-03 22:44:09 GMT Local ID 853b56d7-7f1e-4798-aef3-4a719ed736cc Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1767480249.811:3891): avc: denied { connectto } for pid=461738 comm="blocking-2" path="/run/systemd/userdb/io.systemd.Machine" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:thumb_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:system_r:systemd_machined_t:s0 tclass=unix_stream_socket permissive=0 Hash: blocking-1,thumb_t,systemd_machined_t,unix_stream_socket,connectto Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-targeted-42.19-1.fc43.noarch Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.17.15 type: libreport hashmarkername: setroubleshoot reason: SELinux is preventing blocking-1 from 'connectto' accesses on the unix_stream_socket /run/systemd/userdb/io.systemd.Machine. comment: I was accessing files in another user's home directory where I was granted access to read some photo files, and the Nemo thumbnailer process was reading the images to produce a preview in the file browser. package: selinux-policy-targeted-42.19-1.fc43.noarch component: selinux-policy kernel: 6.17.12-300.fc43.x86_64 component: selinux-policy
