Description of problem: I get the following message 6-12 times an hour in my terminal windows. I'm not aware of any ill effects other than the distraction of the messages, but what a distraction! It's very frequent and irritating. The message always appears in pairs. Message from syslogd@dkc2 at Jul 2 20:33:33 ... sedispatch: AVC Message for setroubleshoot, dropping message Message from syslogd@dkc2 at Jul 2 20:33:33 ... sedispatch: AVC Message for setroubleshoot, dropping message I found the following while trying to google the problem: https://fedorahosted.org/setroubleshoot/changeset/1346:283bba04161f Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.1.14 How reproducible: Open a terminal window, then wait for the message.
These are caused by avc messages about setroubleshoot. Could you look for setroubleshootd_t messages in your /var/log/audit/audit.log
There are a bunch that look like this: type=AVC msg=audit(1244898663.184:43294): avc: denied { read } for pid=3098 comm="setroubleshootd" name="site-python-f11" dev=sda7 ino=7296490 scontext=system_u:system_r:setroubleshootd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0 tclass=lnk_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1244898663.184:43294): arch=c000003e syscall=4 success=no exit=-13 a0=1a4f9f0 a1=7fff2f327e40 a2=7fff2f327e40 a3=20 items=0 ppid=3097 pid=3098 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="setroubleshootd" exe="/usr/bin/python" subj=system_u:system_r:setroubleshootd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) All seem to be the type=AVC/type=SYSCALL pair. And all the AVC messages mention "site-python-f11". Which is mine. Is this pilot error on my part?
Is this a separate directory under /? Or is it under /usr somewhere? If under /usr run restorecon -R -v on the directory. If this is under / We need to label it as usr_t.
Yes, it's on another partition's filesystem. Labeling it usr_t. Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for the help.
