Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/swat "search" access on /root. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by swat. It is not expected that this access is required by swat 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.

How I got here =============== Installed Fedora-12 x86_64. Got basic system configured and running on home network. Updated with latest fixes as of 12-13-2009 1:00PM PST. No major issues so far. Used "System->Administration->Add/Remove Programs" to download and install Samba and SWAT packages. (Only smb client apps had been installed with my initial installation - not sure why / what I may have failed to select or chosen incorrectly.) Used "System -> Administration -> Services" to enable and start smb, enable and start xinetd, enable swat. Launched Firefox, connected to "http://127.0.0.1:901". I see the SWAT main page, but the SELinux alert pops up. Rebooted and did same thing again, just to be sure. Same SELinux alert. Clicking the "Home" button at the top of the SWAT page generates the SELinux alert again.
I will just dontaudit it. Does everything seem to work correctly. You can add these rules for now using # grep avc /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Fixed in selinux-policy-3.6.32-59.fc12.noarch
Yes. Aside from the SELinux warnings (which are reported as warnings, with the access NOT being denied), SWAT seems to be working fine. Thank you.
