Description of problem: homedir on nfs, but .local symlinked to a local ssd disk for decent speed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-3.10.0-84.fc16.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in with home on nfs, but ~/.local symlinked to a local harddisk /home/username/.local (matching username) 2. selinux won't let dbus-daemon nor colord access ~/.local/share/icc/edid* Actual results: Unable to log in Expected results: Dunno, actually :-) Additional info: # grep edid /var/log/audit/audit.log | tail -2 type=AVC msg=audit(1336373665.111:203): avc: denied { read } for pid=1038 comm="dbus-daemon" path="/home/ingvar/.local/share/icc/edid-50bead9a779bd6ac98cacb65c2fa2a7d.icc" dev="dm-4" ino=917828 scontext=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:home_root_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1336373665.158:204): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=1043 comm="colord" path="/home/ingvar/.local/share/icc/edid-ab2ff9c090dd91985c56ae02eb85058f.icc" dev="dm-4" ino=917830 scontext=system_u:system_r:colord_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:home_root_t:s0 tclass=file Fixed for now by # egrep 'dbus-daemon|colord' /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp
Where is the symlink pointing? Did you run restorecon on it?
I ran restorecon on it, and by some reason rebooted just after that. Problem disappeared.
