Summary:

SELinux prevented polkitd from reading files stored on a NFS filesytem.

Detailed Description:

SELinux prevented polkitd from reading files stored on a NFS filesystem. NFS
(Network Filesystem) is a network filesystem commonly used on Unix / Linux
systems. polkitd attempted to read one or more files or directories from a
mounted filesystem of this type. As NFS filesystems do not support fine-grained
SELinux labeling, all files and directories in the filesystem will have the same
security context. If you have not configured polkitd to read files from a NFS
filesystem this access attempt could signal an intrusion attempt.

Allowing Access:

Changing the "use_nfs_home_dirs" boolean to true will allow this access:
"setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs=1"

Fix Command:

setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs=1
