SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/boinc_client from 'open' accesses on the chr_file nvidiactl. ***** Plugin device (91.4 confidence) suggests ***************************** If you want to allow boinc_client to have open access on the nvidiactl chr_file Then you need to change the label on nvidiactl to a type of a similar device. Do # semanage fcontext -a -t SIMILAR_TYPE 'nvidiactl' # restorecon -v 'nvidiactl' ***** Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that boinc_client should be allowed open access on the nvidiactl chr_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 boinc_client /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:boinc_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 Target Objects nvidiactl [ chr_file ] Source boinc_client Source Path /usr/bin/boinc_client Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages boinc-client-6.10.58-3.r22930svn.fc15 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.16-48.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.41.1-1.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Nov 11 21:36:28 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen Tue 06 Dec 2011 07:36:48 EST Last Seen Tue 06 Dec 2011 07:36:48 EST Local ID ccebca59-0214-41b9-b402-ece662538db9 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1323121008.664:236): avc: denied { open } for pid=7485 comm="boinc_client" name="nvidiactl" dev=devtmpfs ino=19908 scontext=system_u:system_r:boinc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1323121008.664:236): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7fff6c3b5c10 a1=2 a2=7fff6c3b5c1e a3=0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=7485 auid=4294967295 uid=492 gid=489 euid=492 suid=492 fsuid=492 egid=489 sgid=489 fsgid=489 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=boinc_client exe=/usr/bin/boinc_client subj=system_u:system_r:boinc_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: boinc_client,boinc_t,device_t,chr_file,open audit2allow #============= boinc_t ============== #!!!!

I am using boinc for the first time, having installed it yesterday. I applied the suggested fix the first time this error occurred, but it does not seem to remain in force between reboots. The suggested fix was applied as: #grep boinc_client /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol #semodule -i mypol.pp
The is a problem with nvidia on F15. We fixed this on F16 where this nvidia devices get a proper label. # restorecon -R -v /dev/nvidia* will fix labeling.
Thanks for the quick and helpful response.
