SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/lxdm-binary from 'rename' accesses on the file /var/log/lxdm.log. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that lxdm-binary should be allowed rename access on the lxdm.log 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 lxdm-binary /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 Target Objects /var/log/lxdm.log [ file ] Source lxdm-binary Source Path /usr/sbin/lxdm-binary Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages lxdm-0.3.0-4.fc15 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.15-2.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.38-0.rc6.git6.1.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Sat Feb 26 02:03:01 UTC 2011 i686 i686 Alert Count 20 First Seen Mon 07 Mar 2011 06:16:41 PM WET Last Seen Wed 09 Mar 2011 12:26:07 PM WET Local ID b8cf9eb5-c144-4f1b-9eb5-4ea89442120b Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1299673567.650:39): avc: denied { rename } for pid=912 comm="lxdm-binary" name="lxdm.log" dev=sda5 ino=5148 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1299673567.650:39): arch=i386 syscall=rename success=no exit=EACCES a0=8050764 a1=805074e a2=2 a3=0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=912 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=lxdm-binary exe=/usr/sbin/lxdm-binary subj=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: lxdm-binary,xdm_t,var_log_t,file,rename audit2allow #============= xdm_t ============== allow xdm_t var_log_t:file rename; audit2allow -R #============= xdm_t ============== allow xdm_t var_log_t:file rename;
restorecon /var/log/lxdm.log Will fix the problem. If it happens again, reopen the bug.
