Description of problem: When using the (new) NM feature to use a CDMA (wireless modem card) SELinux currently interferes. The messages for the audit alert are: host=x61.akkadia.org type=AVC msg=audit(1204761656.426:20): avc: denied { write } for pid=3468 comm="pppd" name="system_bus_socket" dev=sda5 ino=2523166 scontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:system_dbusd_var_run_t:s0 tclass=sock_file host=x61.akkadia.org type=AVC msg=audit(1204761656.426:20): avc: denied { connectto } for pid=3468 comm="pppd" path="/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket" scontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=unix_stream_socket host=x61.akkadia.org type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1204761656.426:20): arch=c000003e syscall=42 success=yes exit=0 a0=4 a1=7fff7947ee50 a2=21 a3=0 items=0 ppid=2553 pid=3468 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="pppd" exe="/usr/sbin/pppd" subj=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 key=(null) I guess pppd should be allowed to write to and connect to system_u:object_r:system_dbusd_var_run_t objects. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.3.1-10 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.insert CDMA card 2.start using it with NM 3.
