SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/pppd from 'read' accesses on the lnk_file /var/lock. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that pppd should be allowed read access on the lock lnk_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 pppd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:var_lock_t:s0 Target Objects /var/lock [ lnk_file ] Source pppd Source Path /usr/sbin/pppd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages ppp-2.4.5-17.fc15 Target RPM Packages filesystem-2.4.41-1.fc15 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.16-30.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Mon Jun 13 20:01:50 UTC 2011 i686 i686 Alert Count 42 First Seen Wed 22 Jun 2011 10:35:36 AM WIT Last Seen Thu 30 Jun 2011 10:06:03 AM WIT Local ID 905a9f7c-daa5-460f-aa12-551b9b7ab612 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1309403163.781:49): avc: denied { read } for pid=1586 comm="pppd" name="lock" dev=sda1 ino=279 scontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_lock_t:s0 tclass=lnk_file type=AVC msg=audit(1309403163.781:49): avc: denied { search } for pid=1586 comm="pppd" name="lock" dev=tmpfs ino=1160 scontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_lock_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1309403163.781:49): arch=i386 syscall=open success=yes exit=EAGAIN a0=1c0760 a1=800c2 a2=1a4 a3=1c0760 items=0 ppid=763 pid=1586 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=pppd exe=/usr/sbin/pppd subj=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: pppd,pppd_t,var_lock_t,lnk_file,read audit2allow #============= pppd_t ============== allow pppd_t var_lock_t:dir search; allow pppd_t var_lock_t:lnk_file read; audit2allow -R #============= pppd_t ============== allow pppd_t var_lock_t:dir search; allow pppd_t var_lock_t:lnk_file read;
