The following was filed automatically by setroubleshoot: Summary: SELinux is preventing pulseaudio (xdm_t) "create" xdm_t. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by pulseaudio. It is not expected that this access is required by pulseaudio 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: 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.

This seems to block gdm login, btw. Believe it hung when I typed the wrong password and it tried to play a sound?
booting permissive, I get: #============= xdm_t ============== allow xdm_t self:netlink_kobject_uevent_socket { read bind create getattr setopt }; Missing transition to pulseaudio_t? Other?
I think I will just add allow xdm_t self:netlink_kobject_uevent_socket { read bind create getattr setopt }; Adding the transition adds lots of access for pulseaudio and interaction with xdm_t which seems like a lot of stuff for little benefit. Fixed in selinux-policy-3.6.20-1.fc12
