Summary:

SELinux is preventing gdm-session-wor (xdm_t) "write" to
/home/james/.dmrc.29712U (user_home_t).

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by gdm-session-wor. The current boolean settings
do not allow this access. If you have not setup gdm-session-wor to require this
access this may signal an intrusion attempt. If you do intend this access you
need to change the booleans on this system to allow the access.

Allowing Access:

Confined processes can be configured to to run requiring different access,
SELinux provides booleans to allow you to turn on/off access as needed. The
boolean allow_polyinstantiation is set incorrectly.
Boolean Description:
Enable polyinstantiated directory support.


Fix Command:

# setsebool -P allow_polyinstantiation 1
