Description of problem: When ssh'ing into a machine where I have also a desktop session going, SELinux gives really annoying warning messages on the console (and wakes up the screen saver). I get some annoying popup about "SELinux: AVC denial, click to view". setroubleshoot says: "SELinux is preventing sshd (sshd_t) "link" to <Unknown> (xdm_t)" and "SELinux is preventing sshd (sshd_t) "search" to <Unknown> (xdm_t)" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openssh-* 4.7p1-9.fc9 selinux-policy-* 3.3.1-26.fc9 How reproducible: 100%. Pretty bog-standard Fedora9 install. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in on console 2. Log in remotely using ssh. 3. Irritation Actual results: Stupid and irritating warning, and screensaver stops. Expected results: No idiotic warnings, pretty swirling screensaver goes on. Additional info: Yeah, I realize I can just disable selinux, and I guess I will, but with these kinds of issues I cannot imagine that anybody actually ever keeps it enabled in the first place.
This is a bug in the kernel where keyrings are being created on every setuid call, These are then labeled incorrectly and cause SELinux to put out the message, now we can either cover up the bug or leave the errors being reported until they are cleaned up.
