Could you try to  turn on full auditing

# auditctl -w /etc/shadow -p w

and try to recreate AVC. Then execute

# ausearch -m avc -ts recent

First I'm sorry if I send a lot of unecessary bugs, it's just because I don't understand any things about SElinux etc ... And I speak a poor English

I ran successfully your command :

   auditctl -w /etc/shadow -p w

I don't know how to " recreate AVC ". I'm still searching about AVC

Despite of that I ran :

   ausearch -m avc -ts recent

My computer is an Asus eeePC 1000 H 1Gb/160Gb Intel Atom N270 1.6 Ghz 32 bits

In all case don't worry, I just try Fedora 16 Beta,

Best regards

Did you add a new disk and used restorecon on it?

Also could you add me output of

# id -Z

*** Bug 744617 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I have added anything since I install F16 Beta with:

   ~$ ls /home/sda6|grep -i fedora
   ~$ Fedora-16-Beta-i686-Live-Desktop.iso

on my /dev/sda2 as /
      /dev/sda7 as /home

I have an USB 500 GB external HD connected on my eeePC, viewed by Linux as /dev/sdb  (1->10) which were at the same place when I proceeded to the installation.

About restorecon :

   ~# cat .bash_history|grep restorecon
   restorecon -v '/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so'
   restorecon -v '/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so'
   restorecon -v '/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so'
   /sbin/restorecon -v /home/seb-fed/.macromedia/Flash_Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys/settings.sol
   ~# 

Your last request :

   ~$ id -Z
   unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
   ~$

colord might be listing the users homdirs in /home?

(In reply to comment #6)
> colord might be listing the users homdirs in /home?

I don't know how to handle your request. I understand that colord is a daemon but I don't how to use it to list the homedir user . I try man colord, apropos colord, but there is no output .

If you want me to use a specific command just show me the command ( I began with Linux on Red Hat 6.0 but I'm not LPIC-[[:digit:]]\+ or other.

I try this (may be usefull for you ? ) :

find /var/log -type f -exec grep 'colord' '{}' \; -print

Can you run

restorecon -R -v /home

To cleanup labels on your homedir?

I have ran your command :

   # restorecon -R -v /home

The command output was huge and take a few minutes but no error have been reported

   # echo $?
   0

Every things seems to be OK, no SElinux alert, nothing strange ... thanks for the sofware update !

I'm looking the restorcon man to understand the things just a little bit more

Best regards

Ok I will close, reopen if it happens again.
