Description of problem: a user mapped to user_t can't lower/raise audio volume Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): metacity-2.28.0-20.el6 gnome-media-2.29.91-6.el6 selinux-policy-3.7.19-93.el6 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. map a user to user_t 2. login as the user 3. press a key mapped to XF86AudioLowerVolume / XF86AudioRaiseVolume 4. see AVC denial Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/metacity "connectto" access on /tmp/pulse-SyvR3tdk08Ao/native. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by metacity. It is not expected that this access is required by metacity 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: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

Well, this is a problem if a user switches from unconfined to confined SELinux user.
You would need to clean out the /tmp directory if you are running with confined users. This is one of the reasons I always run with a tmpfs /tmp/ rm -rf /tmp/pulse-* Logout log back in,
