It looks like that Alert 1,2,3 (partly mysqld alert) issues are caused by a leaked file descriptor in the console used to restart the daemon. Are you using a Konsole terminal? Alert 5 issue is a bug in kdebase. The kdm login program thinks it's home dir is / so it is trying to create /.kde in the root directory. Myslqd_safe_t issues are fixed in selinux-policy-3.5.13-51.fc10
Yes, I'm using Konsole. But if I use system-config-services to restart them, I don't get the AVCs.
Ok, then it is caused by a leaked file descriptor in konsole/kdebase, which has been reported to them several times. You can create a policy .te file like the following cat > kdeleaks.te << __eof policy_module(kdeleaks, 1.0) require { type unconfined_t; attribute domain; class unix_stream_socket { read write }; } #============= dhcpc_t ============== dontaudit domain unconfined_t:unix_stream_socket { read write }; __eof # make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile # semodule -i kdeleaks.pp
