Description Iftikhar 2009-12-02 11:07:33 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing the hal-acl-tool from using potentially mislabeled files
(/).

Detailed Description:

SELinux has denied hal-acl-tool access to potentially mislabeled file(s) (/).
This means that SELinux will not allow hal-acl-tool to use these files. It is
common for users to edit files in their home directory or tmp directories and
then move (mv) them to system directories. The problem is that the files end up
with the wrong file context which confined applications are not allowed to
access.

Allowing Access:

If you want hal-acl-tool to access this files, you need to relabel them using
restorecon -v '/'. You might want to relabel the entire directory using
restorecon -R -v '/'.
