Description Jochen Schmitt 2008-01-23 19:28:05 UTC
Description of problem:

I will get the following avc message.

avc: denied { read write } for comm=unix_update dev=devpts egid=500 euid=0
exe=/sbin/unix_update exit=0 fsgid=500 fsuid=0 gid=500 items=0 name=2 pid=3784
scontext=system_u:system_r:updpwd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 sgid=500
subj=system_u:system_r:updpwd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 suid=0 tclass=chr_file
tcontext=system_u:object_r:devpts_t:s0 tty=pts2 uid=0 

The setroubleshoot tools explains, that there should be a dontaudit rule for
daemons which try to access terminals.
