SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/modem-manager from read, write access on the chr_file ttyS1.

*****  Plugin device (91.4 confidence) suggests  *****************************

If you want to allow modem-manager to have read write access on the ttyS1 chr_file
Then you need to change the label on ttyS1 to a type of a similar device.
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t SIMILAR_TYPE 'ttyS1'
# restorecon -v 'ttyS1'

*****  Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that modem-manager should be allowed read write access on the ttyS1 chr_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 modem-manager /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-05-06 11:54:54 UTC
ls -Z /dev/ttyS1 
crw-rw----. root dialout system_u:object_r:tty_device_t:s0 /dev/ttyS1

Execute

# restorecon -R -v /dev/ttyS1


Reopen if this happens again.

Comment 2 cgrim 2011-05-06 16:35:08 UTC
I tried it before posting this bug report but it did nothing.

Tried it again and still the same:

# ls -Z /dev/ttyS1 
crw-rw----. root dialout system_u:object_r:tty_device_t:s0 /dev/ttyS1

I have installed selinux-policy-targeted-3.9.16-21.fc15

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2011-05-06 18:55:03 UTC
Looks like a race condition on the creation of the tty before udev realizes and fixes the label.
