Description ghostwik 2010-05-23 11:15:31 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gdm-simple-slave "write" access on
/var/log/wtmp.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by gdm-simple-slav. It is not expected that this
access is required by gdm-simple-slav 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2010-05-24 12:42:28 UTC
Somehow "/var/log/wtmp" got the wrong label on it. Execute:

restorecon -R -v /var/log/wtmp 

Will fix. Please reopen if this happens again.
