SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/xauth from unlink access on the file .Xauthority. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you want to allow xauth to have unlink access on the .Xauthority file by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # grep /usr/bin/xauth /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:xauth_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:xdm_home_t:s0 Target Objects .Xauthority [ file ] Source xauth Source Path /usr/bin/xauth Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages xorg-x11-xauth-1.0.2-8.fc15 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.7-9.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 22 15:36:08 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen Wed 03 Nov 2010 05:38:15 PM CDT Last Seen Wed 03 Nov 2010 05:38:15 PM CDT Local ID 68442dff-0f04-40d7-9a97-bc28357835a3 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1288823895.470:66): avc: denied { unlink } for pid=1541 comm="xauth" name=".Xauthority" dev=dm-2 ino=131127 scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:xauth_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:xdm_home_t:s0 tclass=file xauth,xauth_t,xdm_home_t,file,unlink type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1288823895.470:66): arch=x86_64 syscall=unlink success=yes exit=0 a0=6b5010 a1=0 a2=71 a3=1 items=0 ppid=1530 pid=1541 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=pts1 ses=2 comm=xauth exe=/usr/bin/xauth subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:xauth_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) xauth,xauth_t,xdm_home_t,file,unlink #============= xauth_t ============== allow xauth_t xdm_home_t:file unlink;
