Description vikram goyal 2012-04-23 06:32:31 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/xrdb from 'connectto' accesses on the unix_stream_socket @/tmp/.X11-unix/X1.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that xrdb should be allowed connectto access on the X1 unix_stream_socket 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 xrdb /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2012-04-23 14:52:06 UTC
What are you doing?  Was this X running out of xineted?

Comment 2 vikram goyal 2012-05-06 12:56:56 UTC
I had to access the machine on remote. So I created a service in xinetd & took vnc through vncviewer of GDM on remote site. I think the machine was running on selinux permissive mode & this was only an informational log of access violation.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2012-05-07 14:49:17 UTC
Ok that would explain.  If you wanted this to run in enforcing mode then you would have to write local custom policy.

Comment 4 vikram goyal 2012-05-08 13:47:22 UTC
It would be security wise very beneficial if a generalized policy be created for such scenarios. That was my primary purpose for reporting it.
