Summary:

SELinux is preventing krb5_child (sssd_t) "search" to ./home (home_root_t).

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was
permitted due to permissive mode.]

SELinux denied access requested by krb5_child. It is not expected that this
access is required by krb5_child and this access may signal an intrusion
attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the
application is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore
the default system file context for ./home,

restorecon -v './home'

If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access.
Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. domain section of sssd.conf
[sssd]
config_file_version = 2
reconnection_retries = 3
sbus_timeout = 30
services = nss, pam
domains = default
debug_level = 9

[nss]
filter_groups = root
filter_users = root
reconnection_retries = 3
debug_level = 9

[pam]
reconnection_retries = 3
debug_level = 9

[domain/default]
debug_level = 9
id_provider = ldap
ldap_uri = ldap://cobra.lab.eng.pnq.redhat.com
ldap_search_base = dc=example,dc=com
auth_provider = krb5
access_provider = krb5
krb5_server = cobra.lab.eng.pnq.redhat.com
krb5_realm = EXAMPLE.COM

2. add user puser1(home dir set to /home/puser1), to ldap and kerberos

3. > /home/puser1/.k5login(empty file should deny access for puser1)

4. restorecon /home/puser1/.k5login

5. login as puser1
# ssh -l puser1 localhost
puser1@localhost's password: 
Last login: Tue Jun 14 12:02:05 2011 from localhost.localdomain
-sh-3.2$ 
  
Actual results:
Login does not fail.
SELinux alert appears as shown above.

Expected results:
SELinux alert should not appear and puser1 should not be able to login.

Additional Info:
puser1 is unable to login after setting selinux to permissive mode.
