Created attachment 329927 [details] excerpts from /var/log/messages during and after "yum update" During my latest "yum update" I got a number of warning or error messages which appear to have something to do with various SELinux components, including: * udevd[9454]: specified group 'dialout' unknown * restorecond: Will not restore a file with more than one hard link (/home/beland/.Xauthority-c) Invalid argument * restorecond: Unable to watch (/home/beland/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so) No such file or directory * dbus: Can't send to audit system: USER_AVC avc: ... * Various "avc: denied" Note that auditd is not running due to bug 476380. I've included my system log so you can see these in context; at least some of them seem to be related. I don't know what's giving the system the impression that /home/beland/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so should exist; it would be nice if the error message was more informative about that. After the update, I now have installed: libselinux-2.0.77-2.fc11.i386 libselinux-2.0.77-2.fc11.x86_64 libselinux-debuginfo-2.0.77-2.fc11.x86_64 libselinux-python-2.0.77-2.fc11.x86_64 libselinux-utils-2.0.77-2.fc11.x86_64 selinux-policy-3.6.3-8.fc11.noarch selinux-policy-targeted-3.6.3-8.fc11.noarch checkpolicy-2.0.16-3.fc10.x86_64 checkpolicy-debuginfo-2.0.16-3.fc10.x86_64 policycoreutils-2.0.61-6.fc11.x86_64 policycoreutils-debuginfo-2.0.61-6.fc11.x86_64 policycoreutils-gui-2.0.61-6.fc11.x86_64 policycoreutils-python-2.0.61-6.fc11.x86_64 udev-136-2.fc11.x86_64
The rpm/groupadd bug has been reported separarely, The dbus bug should be reported to dbus. restorecond, seems to be complaining about the contents of your homedir? What is .Xautority? Is this a hardlink somewhere else?
I cannot find the udev "specified group 'dialout' unknown" bug in bugzilla. Unless this is caused by bug 480795?
Ah, I think the udev message is due to bug 480762? dbus issue reported separately at bug 482977. At least at the moment, stat reports that there is only one hard link to /home/beland/.Xauthority, which looks like a normal file. But I think it's overwritten every time I log in.
Please attach your restorecond.conf file
Created attachment 330470 [details] /etc/selinux/restorecond.conf ~/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so is the last line, so I suppose that explains where *that* is coming from.
Created attachment 330471 [details] excerpt from /var/log/messages I noticed similar restorecond messages in /var/log/messages today; attached is an excerpt in case the additional context is helpful.
Fixed in policycoreutils-2.0.61-7.fc11
