Sammanfattning:

SELinux is preventing /sbin/hwclock access to a leaked
/var/webmin/miniserv.error file descriptor.

Detaljerad beskrivning:

[hwclock har en tillåtande typ (hwclock_t). Denna åtkomst nekades inte.]

SELinux denied access requested by the hwclock command. It looks like this is
either a leaked descriptor or hwclock output was redirected to a file it is not
allowed to access. Leaks usually can be ignored since SELinux is just closing
the leak and reporting the error. The application does not use the descriptor,
so it will run properly. If this is a redirection, you will not get output in
the /var/webmin/miniserv.error. You should generate a bugzilla on
selinux-policy, and it will get routed to the appropriate package. You can
safely ignore this avc.

Att tillåta åtkomst:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385)

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2010-02-01 18:17:31 UTC
Miroslav, I guess we should label /var/webmin as var_log_t.  

/var/webmin(/.*)?		gen_context(system_u:object_r:var_log_t,s0)


 (OPTIONAL) Real Name

You can set this label for now by executing

chcon -t var_log_t -R /var/webmin

Also could you report a bug to webmin to move their log files to /var/log
