Description Gene Czarcinski 2009-09-16 20:18:08 UTC
The following was filed automatically by setroubleshoot:

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/NetworkManager "unlink" access on
nm-system-settings.conf.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by NetworkManager. It is not expected that this
access is required by NetworkManager 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) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 Gene Czarcinski 2009-09-16 20:26:03 UTC
I had just added a second NIC to my F12alpha+rawhide-updates qemu-kvm guest.  After booting, I used system-config-network to add the defintion for ifcfg-eth1 as "System eth1".

NM brought up System eth0" and "Auto eth1".  I used the nm-applet to switch from "Auto eth1" to "system eth1".  I then used the nm-applet edit and deleted the defintion for "Auto eth1" ... that is when I got the SELinux AVC.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2009-09-16 21:06:04 UTC
Dan what files is NetworkManager supposed to edit/delete in the /etc/NetworkManager/ directory?

*** Bug 525762 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 4 Gene Czarcinski 2009-10-05 18:39:40 UTC
There are still problems (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=523875) but they do not seem to involve selinux.  I am closing this.
