Description Eddie Lania 2010-06-21 21:00:05 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/perl "read" access on /root.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by logwatch. It is not expected that this access
is required by logwatch 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 1 Eddie Lania 2010-06-21 21:05:55 UTC
I got this after i enabled the dmeventd-logwatch script in the cron.d directory:

# |DMEVENTD| This will run logwatch checking for dmeventd events every minute.
* * * * * root /usr/sbin/logwatch --service dmeventd --range today --detail med

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2010-06-22 12:46:37 UTC
Strange that is lists the contents of /root directory.
