Description Rodd Clarkson 2007-09-28 12:22:17 UTC
Summary
    SELinux is preventing pm-hibernate (hald_t) "getattr" to /var/log/pm-
    suspend.log (var_log_t).

Detailed Description
    SELinux denied access requested by pm-hibernate. It is not expected that
    this access is required by pm-hibernate 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 /var/log/pm-suspend.log,
    restorecon -v /var/log/pm-suspend.log 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 2007-09-28 13:09:27 UTC
You can fix the file context on this file, but the location of this file is
changed in the latest rawhide, So you should update all your packages,
especially pm-utils, hal and selinux-policy.

Comment 2 Till Maas 2007-12-30 19:40:54 UTC
It should be fixed in a uptodate system, e.g. on my F7 machine I get:

$ ls -laZ /var/log/pm-suspend.log
-rw-------  root root system_u:object_r:hald_log_t     /var/log/pm-suspend.log

In case this bug is still present, please reopen it.
