SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/kdm from 'create' accesses on the file .Xauthority-c. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that kdm should be allowed create access on the .Xauthority-c 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 kdm /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 Target Objects .Xauthority-c [ file ] Source kdm Source Path /usr/bin/kdm Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages kdm-4.7.0-6.fc15 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.16-38.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.40.4-5.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 30 14:38:32 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 3 First Seen Mon 19 Sep 2011 12:50:01 AM EEST Last Seen Mon 19 Sep 2011 12:50:18 AM EEST Local ID e083d813-4de1-4acc-855c-20629c930e83 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1316382618.362:77): avc: denied { create } for pid=2436 comm="kdm" name=".Xauthority-c" scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1316382618.362:77): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7fff69a58150 a1=c1 a2=180 a3=7fff69a58560 items=0 ppid=2071 pid=2436 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=2 comm=kdm exe=/usr/bin/kdm subj=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: kdm,xdm_t,admin_home_t,file,create audit2allow #============= xdm_t ============== allow xdm_t admin_home_t:file create; audit2allow -R #============= xdm_t ============== allow xdm_t admin_home_t:file create;
Do you log in via X as root? Since SELinux does not support logging in as root, I am closing this bugzilla.
