Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): util-linux-ng-2.13.1-1.fc8 vim-minimal-7.1.211-1.fc8 Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable selinux 2. cd /root 3. vigr Actual results: host=localhost.localdomain type=AVC msg=audit(1206887819.190:250): avc: denied { read } for pid=25098 comm="vi" name="root" dev=dm-0 ino=4291608 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:sysadm_passwd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=root:object_r:sysadm_home_dir_t:s0 tclass=dir host=localhost.localdomain type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1206887819.190:250): arch=40000003 syscall=5 success=no exit=-13 a0=80c9581 a1=8000 a2=0 a3=8000 items=0 ppid=25097 pid=25098 auid=500 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=pts2 comm="vi" exe="/bin/vi" subj=unconfined_u:system_r:sysadm_passwd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Additional info: Apparently vigr works anyway - but I really don't know and could fear that the denial prevents something important...
This looks like vigr/vi is looking at the current working directory that it is being run in and is generating a denial. This can safely be ignored. I just tried this on Fedora 9, and I don't get the AVC. So I am just going to close this as fixed in the next release.
