Description of problem: Newly installed Fedora 9; configured wired and wireless adaptors to be managed by Network Manager, restarted network service; received SELinux error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): N/A How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. As above 2. 3. Actual results: ===== Copy from setroubleshoot starts Summary: SELinux is preventing cp (dhcpc_t) "unlink" to ./resolv.conf.predhclient.eth0 (etc_t). Detailed Description: SELinux is preventing cp (dhcpc_t) "unlink" to ./resolv.conf.predhclient.eth0 (etc_t). The SELinux type etc_t, is a generic type for all files in the directory and very few processes (SELinux Domains) are allowed to write to this SELinux type. This type of denial usual indicates a mislabeled file. By default a file created in a directory has the gets the context of the parent directory, but SELinux policy has rules about the creation of directories, that say if a process running in one SELinux Domain (D1) creates a file in a directory with a particular SELinux File Context (F1) the file gets a different File Context (F2). The policy usually allows the SELinux Domain (D1) the ability to write, unlink, and append on (F2). But if for some reason a file (./resolv.conf.predhclient.eth0) was created with the wrong context, this domain will be denied. The usual solution to this problem is to reset the file context on the target file, restorecon -v './resolv.conf.predhclient.eth0'. If the file context does not change from etc_t, then this is probably a bug in policy. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against the selinux-policy package. If it does change, you can try your application again to see if it works. The file context could have been mislabeled by editing the file or moving the file from a different directory, if the file keeps getting mislabeled, check the init scripts to see if they are doing something to mislabel the file. Allowing Access: You can attempt to fix file context by executing restorecon -v './resolv.conf.predhclient.eth0' Fix Command: restorecon './resolv.conf.predhclient.eth0' Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 Target Objects ./resolv.conf.predhclient.eth0 [ file ] Source rm Source Path /bin/rm Port <Unknown> Host slate Source RPM Packages coreutils-6.10-18.fc9 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.3.1-42.fc9 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name mislabeled_file Host Name slate Platform Linux slate 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686 #1 SMP Thu May 1 06:28:41 EDT 2008 i686 i686 Alert Count 10 First Seen Thu 15 May 2008 07:39:42 PM EST Last Seen Thu 15 May 2008 11:46:54 PM EST Local ID 0c31bf45-5569-4bcf-afa3-3b44bb9eb463 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages host=slate type=AVC msg=audit(1210859214.201:75): avc: denied { unlink } for pid=1518 comm="cp" name="resolv.conf.predhclient.eth0" dev=dm-0 ino=196609 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 tclass=file host=slate type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1210859214.201:75): arch=40000003 syscall=10 success=no exit=-13 a0=bfc37dc2 a1=8f9ff4 a2=805c3a0 a3=1a4 items=0 ppid=1479 pid=1518 auid=500 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=1 comm="cp" exe="/bin/cp" subj=unconfined_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0 key=(null) ===== Copy from setroubleshoot ends Expected results: Additional info:
