Description Ray Evans 2011-08-02 08:18:53 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/kde4/kcmdatetimehelper from 'create' accesses on the directory /.kde.

*****  Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests  *************************

If you want to fix the label. 
/.kde default label should be default_t.
Then you can run restorecon.
Do
# /sbin/restorecon -v /.kde

*****  Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that kcmdatetimehelper should be allowed create access on the .kde 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 kcmdatetimehelp /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Ray Evans 2011-08-02 08:23:42 UTC
This occurs when attempting to update the system time with the KDE clock icon in the Task Manager's "System Tray" to an ntp time server and auto update.

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2011-08-02 11:33:44 UTC
This is a bug in KDE.

You can allow it for now using

# semanage fcontext -a -e /usr/share/kde4 /.kde
# restorecon -R -v /.kde
