Summary: SELinux is preventing gdm-session-wor (xdm_t) "rename" to ./.xsession-errors (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: Allow login programs to use polyinstantiated directories. Fix Command: # setsebool -P allow_polyinstantiation 1 Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 Target Objects ./.xsession-errors [ file ] Source gdm-session-wor Source Path /usr/libexec/gdm-session-worker Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages gdm-2.24.1-4.fc10 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.5.13-49.fc10 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Plugin Name catchall_boolean Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Mon Feb 23 13:21:22 EST 2009 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen Thu 26 Mar 2009 07:25:28 AM EDT Last Seen Thu 26 Mar 2009 07:25:28 AM EDT Local ID 326d74c3-58c6-4bdd-bd63-fbbbe0e30d8f Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=(removed) type=AVC msg=audit(1238066728.733:12): avc: denied { rename } for pid=2788 comm="gdm-session-wor" name=".xsession-errors" dev=dm-1 ino=783647 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 tclass=file node=(removed) type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1238066728.733:12): arch=40000003 syscall=38 success=yes exit=0 a0=93581e8 a1=9358210 a2=9358210 a3=34d9bc items=0 ppid=2752 pid=2788 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) ses=1 comm="gdm-session-wor" exe="/usr/libexec/gdm-session-worker" subj=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash String generated from selinux-policy-3.5.13-49.fc10,catchall_boolean,gdm-session-wor,xdm_t,user_home_t,file,rename audit2allow suggests: #============= xdm_t ============== allow xdm_t user_home_t:file rename;
