Doc Text:
With SELinux running in the enforcing mode, resuming the system from the Suspend mode failed, because the /etc/resolv.conf file did not have the correct security context. This was caused by NetworkManager, which was running under wrong SELinux domain, "devicekit_power_t". With this update, the proper SELinux domain transition from DeviceKit-power to NetworkManager has been added, and resuming from the Suspend mode now works as expected.

Description Mark Chappell 2010-09-30 18:39:12 UTC
Description of problem:

When resuming from suspend NetworkManager is writing out /etc/resolv.conf.tmp which is being created as etc_t this is then being moved to replace the existing /etc/resolv.conf

This is I think the related create...

type=AVC msg=audit(1285868806.229:1625): avc:  granted  { create } for  pid=28423 comm="NetworkManager" name="resolv.conf.tmp" scontext=system_u:system_r:devicekit_power_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 tclass=file

It's then failing to unlink the resolv.conf it created, when I try to reconnect leaving DNS config in a wonky state.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

[mchappel@mchappel ~]$ rpm -q selinux-policy
selinux-policy-3.7.19-54.el6.noarch

How reproducible:

Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to network using NetworkManager
2. Suspend machine
3. Restart machine
  
Actual results:

/etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts have a context of system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0

Expected results:

/etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts have a context of system_u:object_r:net_conf_t:s0
