SELinux is preventing /bin/systemctl from 'search' accesses on the directory /sys/fs/cgroup. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that systemctl should be allowed search access on the cgroup directory 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 systemctl /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:gnomeclock_systemctl_t:s0-s0:c0. c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 Target Objects /sys/fs/cgroup [ dir ] Source systemctl Source Path /bin/systemctl Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages systemd-units-24-1.fc15 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.16-13.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 30 16:55:57 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen Thu 07 Apr 2011 06:25:32 AM PDT Last Seen Thu 07 Apr 2011 06:25:32 AM PDT Local ID 93ca1791-4622-402a-a99d-bb3a6a7b2546 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1302182732.178:55): avc: denied { search } for pid=1698 comm="systemctl" name="/" dev=tmpfs ino=7696 scontext=system_u:system_r:gnomeclock_systemctl_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:cgroup_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1302182732.178:55): arch=x86_64 syscall=lstat success=yes exit=0 a0=420b5b a1=7fff802a5a00 a2=7fff802a5a00 a3=742e726573752d69 items=0 ppid=1673 pid=1698 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=systemctl exe=/bin/systemctl subj=system_u:system_r:gnomeclock_systemctl_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: systemctl,gnomeclock_systemctl_t,cgroup_t,dir,search audit2allow #============= gnomeclock_systemctl_t ============== allow gnomeclock_systemctl_t cgroup_t:dir search; audit2allow -R #============= gnomeclock_systemctl_t ============== allow gnomeclock_systemctl_t cgroup_t:dir search;
gnomeclock_systemctl_t does not exist? Are you installing some custom policy?
(In reply to comment #1) > gnomeclock_systemctl_t does not exist? Are you installing some custom policy? Not knowingly. I am using: [joeblow@fir ~]$ rpm -qa 'selinux*' | sort selinux-policy-3.9.16-13.fc15.noarch selinux-policy-targeted-3.9.16-13.fc15.noarch I had used chkconfig to enable ntpd as a workaround for Bug 675278, and used chkconfig to disable ntpd before testing, if that matters. I rebooted after updating to selinux-policy-3.9.16-13.
Dan, this is a scratch build for testing.
Ok, I was quite confused...
