The following was filed automatically by setroubleshoot: Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/chfn "write" access on /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket. Detailed Description: [SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by chfn. It is not expected that this access is required by chfn 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.

This one popped up when I changed my user name, address, etc. in the KDE user settings window.
Eric, does this looks like a leaked file descriptor to you? I have no idea how the transition happened here. Kde guys is this some new dbus service that changes password data?
I thought this may be from systemsettings -> About me but I can't reproduce (on F11 anyway). Reporter, regarding comment #1 "KDE user settings window" was what exactly?
In response to comment #2 This is a 'connect' syscall, not something across execve. So this does not look like a leaked fd to me....
Sorry, I needed to make some time for my granddaughter, so I had to turn off my laptop for a while. Anyhow, what I had done (in addition to setting my name and address) was to set the password echo to "None." I should have mentioned that since that change was more likely to cause a SELinux exception. (I was also delayed because the "rawhide" version of the video driver - nouveau - that this laptop requires keeps crashing the X-server. But, while annoying, that's a different issue.)
Eric, why would chfn be connecting to dbus? Makes no sense.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
