rpm -q selinux-policy-targeted

Sorry, i forget an important thing.

  rpm -q selinux-policy-targeted
selinux-policy-targeted-3.10.0-46.fc16.noarch

semanage user -a  -S targeted -P xguest -R xguest_r xguest_u  2> /dev/null  || :
mkdir -p /var/lib/xguest
(useradd -c "Guest" -Z xguest_u -d /var/lib/xguest/home xguest || semanage login -a -S targeted -s xguest_u xguest || semanage login -m -S targeted -s xguest_u xguest) 2>/dev/null || exit 1

echo "xguest:exclusive" >> /etc/security/sepermit.conf

semanage -S targeted -i - << _EOF
boolean -m --on allow_polyinstantiation 
boolean -m --on xguest_connect_network
boolean -m --on xguest_mount_media
boolean -m --on xguest_use_bluetooth
_EOF


THis is what the pre install attempts to do.  Any idea what is failing?

I think of yes.

I'm trying to configure a special user account (with xguest) that has a very limited options in graphic mode:

- No Reboot/Shutdown commands
- He can use network
- He can use only Firefox

Setting all by Gsettings Configuration Tool.

Same bug occurred by attempting to install xguest. Following the instruction from setroubleshoot:

# semanage fcontext -a -t user_home_dir_t 'xguest'
# restorecon -v 'xguest'

did not resolve the issue.

Here is the detailed report:

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/useradd from write access on the directory xguest.

Plugin: catchall_labels 
you want to allow useradd to have write access on the xguest directoryIf you want to allow useradd to have write access on the xguest directory
You need to change the label on xguest
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE 'xguest'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: user_home_dir_t, httpd_user_content_type, mail_spool_t, etc_t, httpd_user_script_exec_type, user_home_type, pcscd_var_run_t, home_root_t. 
Then execute: 
restorecon -v 'xguest'

It looks like the current policy prevent useradd binary to write access to xguest.

Please attach your AVC messages?

For me, the three xguest booleans are set properly, but I cannot modify allow_polyinstantiation:

# getsebool allow_polyinstantiation
allow_polyinstantiation --> off
# setsebool -P allow_polyinstantiation 1
Could not change policy booleans

I've just installed xguest.
To login with Guest i relabeled whole system.

# setenforce 0
# yum install xguest
# setenforce 1

Set relabeling at next boot. 

Guest login works now but appears flickers in Gnome-shell (xsession-errors in attachment).

Created attachment 537911 [details]
xsession-errors of Guest login with Gnome-shell

I updated my local xguest spec file, as follows, to get it to work:

%install
rm -rf %{buildroot}

mkdir -p %{buildroot}/var/lib/xguest/home

install -Dpm 0644 xguest.conf \
   %{buildroot}/%{_sysconfdir}/security/namespace.d/xguest.conf

%pre

if [ $1 -eq 1 ]; then

mkdir -p /var/lib/xguest/home
semanage user -a -S targeted -P xguest -R xguest_r xguest_u 2>/dev/null || :
chcon -R --user=xguest_u --role=object_r --type=user_home_dir_t /var/lib/xguest/home 2>/dev/null || :
useradd -c "Guest" -Z xguest_u -d /var/lib/xguest/home xguest 2>/dev/null || exit 1
restorecon -F -R /var/lib/xguest 2>/dev/null || :

Have you tried xguest-1.0.10-2.fc16

Yes, just did and it worked.  %post was the trick. Thanks Dan.
