Description Adam Williamson 2011-04-20 20:00:30 UTC
SELinux is preventing NetworkManager from 'setattr' accesses on the file /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ovpn-phx2-udp-x86_64.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that NetworkManager should be allowed setattr access on the ovpn-phx2-udp-x86_64 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 NetworkManager /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2011-04-20 20:00:57 UTC
Tried to connect to an OpenVPN.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2011-04-20 20:37:34 UTC
Should  /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ovpn-phx2
                              -udp-x86_64  be writable by NetworkManager?

Yeah, /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ is the directory where NetworkManager stores configured connections when keyfile plugin is used. Each connection is stored in its own file.

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2011-04-21 13:00:05 UTC
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.9.16-16.fc15

Miroslav we need this fix back ported to RHEL6.

Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2011-04-26 07:14:06 UTC
We have in Fedora13/RHEL6

/etc/NetworkManager(/.*)?   gen_context(system_u:object_r:NetworkManager_var_lib_t, s0)

/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections(/.*)?    gen_context(system_u:object_r:NetworkManager_var_lib_t, s0)

So it is allowed.

Comment 8 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 20:23:18 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
