SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python from 'read' accesses on the file /etc/localtime. ***** Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests ************************* If you want to fix the label. /etc/localtime default label should be locale_t. Then you can run restorecon. Do # /sbin/restorecon -v /etc/localtime ***** Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that python should be allowed read access on the localtime 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/python /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:setroubleshoot_fixit_t:s0-s0:c0. c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:etc_runtime_t:s0 Target Objects /etc/localtime [ file ] Source SetroubleshootF Source Path /usr/bin/python Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages python-2.7-8.fc14.1 Target RPM Packages glibc-2.12.90-21 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.7-18.fc14 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 23 16:04:50 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 4 First Seen Tue 28 Dec 2010 05:41:40 AM EST Last Seen Tue 28 Dec 2010 05:41:49 AM EST Local ID 7389779f-a6a5-431e-aa89-23902ab63e0b Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1293532909.711:21187): avc: denied { read } for pid=2006 comm="sealert" name="localtime" dev=sda6 ino=5057 scontext=system_u:system_r:setroubleshoot_fixit_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_runtime_t:s0 tclass=file SetroubleshootF,setroubleshoot_fixit_t,etc_runtime_t,file,read type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1293532909.711:21187): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7fd43b3f374d a1=0 a2=1b6 a3=2 items=0 ppid=2005 pid=2006 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=sealert exe=/usr/bin/python subj=system_u:system_r:setroubleshoot_fixit_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) SetroubleshootF,setroubleshoot_fixit_t,etc_runtime_t,file,read #============= setroubleshoot_fixit_t ============== allow setroubleshoot_fixit_t etc_runtime_t:file read;
Did you run the restorecon as suggested in the alert?
Yes, and other alerts (for other programs trying to access the same file) keep appearing. This is a fresh Fedora 14 install.
ls -lZ /etc/localtime restorecon -v /etc/localtime
