Description Juergen Kaiserling 2010-11-14 23:56:15 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gdm-session-worker "remove_name" access on
.xsession-errors.

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by gdm-session-wor. It is not expected that this
access is required by gdm-session-wor 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.

*** Bug 653196 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2010-11-15 09:30:29 UTC
.xsession-errors is mislabeled. 

# restorecon -R -v ~/.xsession-errors

will fix it. But did you setup "samba_share_t" label in your home directory?

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2010-11-15 16:00:52 UTC
If you want to share your homedir via samba you should use

setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1

Do not label the homedir samba_share_t.
