Description of problem: Selinux is preventing logrotate from accessing log files in /var/log/ and as a result logrotate reports are never generated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): logrotate-3.7.6-5.fc9.i386 selinux-policy-3.3.1-103.fc9.noarch How reproducible: Every day, several times a day. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install logrotate. Install selinux-policy. 2. Hibernate/Suspend laptop. 3. Wake up laptop. Actual results: Selinux error message - Summary: SELinux is preventing logrotate (logrotate_t) "getattr" to /var/log/pm-suspend.log (hald_log_t). Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by logrotate. It is not expected that this access is required by logrotate and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access: Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for /var/log/pm-suspend.log, restorecon -v '/var/log/pm-suspend.log' If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

Additional info:
what is the SElinux context of /var/log/pm-suspend.log ? ( ls -Z ) did you try the restorecons command? ( restorecons -v /var/log/pm-suspend.log )
seems to be working OK now with newer selinux-policy. if not, feel free to reopen the bug
