Description of problem: While booting sedispatch went into a loop causing continual writes to my audit log until I set the system in permissive. I started a relabel (which hasn't finished yet). I also tried going back to enforcing and the looping did not (at least so far) restart. The auidt messages are: type=AVC msg=audit(1341840269.794:141894): avc: denied { read } for pid=1334 comm="sedispatch" name="run" dev="dm-1" ino=1835144 scontext=system_u:system_r:a udisp_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=lnk_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1341840269.794:141894): arch=40000003 syscall=102 success =no exit=-13 a0=3 a1=bfa81b90 a2=48cbeff4 a3=bfa81bce items=0 ppid=1303 pid=1334 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(no ne) ses=4294967295 comm="sedispatch" exe="/usr/sbin/sedispatch" subj=system_u:sy stem_r:audisp_t:s0 key=(null) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-3.11.0-8.fc18.noarch setroubleshoot-server-3.1.12-3.fc18.i686 How reproducible: I am not sure yet.
This seems to have been fixed by a relabel (or less likely a package update). Most likely the labelling got messed up while I was trying to recover from the recent dracut issue. Anyway, this seems resolved now.
