Description Mary Ellen Foster 2009-10-13 13:43:28 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/kdm "read" access on .dmrc.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by kdm. It is not expected that this access is
required by kdm 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 Daniel Walsh 2009-10-13 15:00:26 UTC
kdm created a directory under /.kde which is wrong.  The labels in this directory are wrong, and this is denied access.

Probably not blocking you from logging in.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2009-11-16 13:36:33 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2010-03-23 12:49:27 UTC
this is likely an artifact of bug #498809 (or similar, init'ing kde4 runtime in kdm context).

I'll mark this fixed (please re-open if there's evidence to the contrary this this is still a problem).
