Comment 1 Artur Szymczak 2012-08-08 07:29:07 UTC
Steps to reproduce problem:

- login as root on console (tty2)


Additional info:

# find / -inum 787586 -type d
/var/log
# ls -Zd /var/log
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0   /var/log

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2012-08-08 08:56:53 UTC
I see we allow this in F17.


Could you switch to permissive

# semanage permissive -a local_login_t 

re-create it and then execute

# ausearch -m avc -su local_login_t |audit2allow -M mylocallogin
# semodule -i mylocallogin.pp
# semanage permissive -d local_login_t

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-14 02:02:10 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
