Description of problem: I'm testing Fedora 18 pre-release. It happens every time when I want to change the localtime in the Date/Time widget on the taskbar (as a normal user). First I got in /var/log/messages: SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/kde4/kcmdatetimehelper from write access on the directory /. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l d94a0560-ecec-4460-b081-6ffa5f4934c2 Then after setting 'setenforce permissive' it opens the Alert Browser and in /var/log/messages: SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/kde4/kcmdatetimehelper from write access on the directory /root/.kde. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 36456c90-68a9-47c9-a119-962e28a5cdc1 Additional info: libreport version: 2.0.18 kernel: 3.6.6-9.fc18.x86_64 description: :SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/kde4/kcmdatetimehelper from 'write' accesses on the directory /root/.kde. : :***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** : :If you believe that kcmdatetimehelper should be allowed write access on the .kde directory 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 kcmdatetimehelp /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol :# semodule -i mypol.pp : :Additional Information: :Source Context system_u:system_r:gnomeclock_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 :Target Context system_u:object_r:config_home_t:s0 :Target Objects /root/.kde [ dir ] :Source kcmdatetimehelp :Source Path /usr/libexec/kde4/kcmdatetimehelper :Port <Unknown> :Host (removed) :Source RPM Packages kde-workspace-4.9.3-2.fc18.x86_64 :Target RPM Packages :Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-50.fc18.noarch :Selinux Enabled True :Policy Type targeted :Enforcing Mode Permissive :Host Name (removed) :Platform Linux (removed) 3.6.6-9.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Nov : 16 16:36:04 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 :Alert Count 1 :First Seen 2012-11-19 22:21:40 UTC :Last Seen 2012-11-19 22:21:40 UTC :Local ID 36456c90-68a9-47c9-a119-962e28a5cdc1 : :Raw Audit Messages :type=AVC msg=audit(1353363700.647:332): avc: denied { write } for pid=5238 comm="kcmdatetimehelp" name=".kde" dev="sda3" ino=2496918 scontext=system_u:system_r:gnomeclock_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:config_home_t:s0 tclass=dir : : :type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1353363700.647:332): arch=x86_64 syscall=access success=yes exit=0 a0=20e70c8 a1=2 a2=200 a3=7fff0ded87a0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=5238 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=kcmdatetimehelp exe=/usr/libexec/kde4/kcmdatetimehelper subj=system_u:system_r:gnomeclock_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) : :Hash: kcmdatetimehelp,gnomeclock_t,config_home_t,dir,write : :audit2allow :audit2allow -R
