Description Mr. Beedell, Roke Julian Lockhart (RJLB) 2026-04-23 09:29:18 UTC
Description of problem:
This occurred when https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/discussions/7029#discussion-9935589 did.
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon from 'read' accesses on the directory /usr/share/accountsservice/interfaces.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that accounts-daemon should be allowed read access on the interfaces directory 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 'accounts-daemon' --raw | audit2allow -M my-accountsdaemon
# semodule -X 300 -i my-accountsdaemon.pp
