Created attachment 283961 [details]
 /usr/sbin/hald (hald_t) "read" to (system_crond_var_lib_t).

This denial message related to SELinux is seen in the troubleshooter browser.
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/hald (hald_t) "read" to
(system_crond_var_lib_t).
Comment 2 Jim Cornette 2007-12-11 11:57:59 UTC 
Once hal is started, using enforcing mode does not seem to produce errors.
Permissive mode is needed to start the daemon initially.
Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2007-12-12 15:39:25 UTC 
This is actually a PolicyKit bug, which should install this file in 

/var/lib/PolicyKit-public

selinux-policy in rawhide allows hal to look there for the file.
