Description Naoki 2011-04-27 01:01:35 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/xauth from 'remove_name' accesses on the directory /yum_20110421080748/home/naoki/.Xauthority.

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

If you believe that xauth should be allowed remove_name access on the .Xauthority 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 xauth /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-04-27 09:06:27 UTC
You need to setup the proper context for /yum_20110421080748/home/naoki using semanage

# semanage fcontext -a -t home_root_t "/yum_20110421080748"
# semanage fcontext -a -e /home /yum_20110421080748/home
# restorecon -R -v /yum_20110421080748

which will tell SELinux to label /yum_20110421080748/home/naoki as /home/naoki.
