SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python from 'write' accesses on the directory /var/tmp. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that python should be allowed write access on the tmp 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 xm /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:virsh_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 Target Objects /var/tmp [ dir ] Source xm Source Path /usr/bin/python Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages python-2.7-8.fc14.1 Target RPM Packages filesystem-2.4.35-1.fc14 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.7-40.fc14 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.35.13-92.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat May 21 17:26:25 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 10 First Seen Fri 10 Jun 2011 10:49:37 PM MDT Last Seen Thu 30 Jun 2011 01:39:56 PM MDT Local ID 1d30ce38-f88b-4a68-8355-3876a2f38bb0 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1309462796.754:14): avc: denied { write } for pid=2203 comm="xm" name="tmp" dev=dm-1 ino=1558 scontext=system_u:system_r:virsh_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1309462796.754:14): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=1e2ae60 a1=200c2 a2=180 a3=1 items=0 ppid=2199 pid=2203 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=xm exe=/usr/bin/python subj=system_u:system_r:virsh_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: xm,virsh_t,tmp_t,dir,write audit2allow #============= virsh_t ============== #!!!!

Eric, what were you doing when this happened?
If I recall correctly, I was rebooting the system; so this may be a case of unexpected context being propagated from the libvirt-guests init script.
