Sorry... Also throwing avc on target system_u:object_r:anon_inodefs_t:s0 as follows: Raw Audit Messages : node=system0.mynetwork.lan type=AVC msg=audit(1224726577.464:10): avc: denied { read } for pid=2664 comm="prelude-lml" path="anon_inode:[eventfd]" dev=anon_inodefs ino=35 scontext=system_u:system_r:prelude_lml_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:anon_inodefs_t:s0 tclass=file node=system0.mynetwork.lan type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1224726577.464:10): arch=c000003e syscall=0 success=yes exit=0 a0=4 a1=7fffb2101ad0 a2=8 a3=7fffb2100ab0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=2664 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="prelude-lml" exe="/usr/bin/prelude-lml" subj=system_u:system_r:prelude_lml_t:s0 key=(null)
You can allow this for now. # audit2allow -M mypol -l -i /var/log/audit/audit.log # semodule -i mypol.pp Fixed in selinux-policy-3.5.13-6.fc10
