Description of problem: I'm helping with the Fedora 18 Beta on ARM VFAD testing today (on a Pandaboard) and I noticed that the network does not always come up properly on boot (sometimes it does, but not always). Scanning through the logs I noticed this: Dec 31 19:00:48 panda-f18-v7hl NetworkManager[484]: <error> [946684848.973573] [ nm-dbus-manager.c:332] nm_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the Ne tworkManager service. And: [root@panda-f18-v7hl ~]# ausearch -m USER_AVC time->Fri Dec 31 19:00:24 1999 type=USER_AVC msg=audit(946684824.777:26): pid=535 uid=81 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 msg='avc: denied { send_msg } for msgtype=signal interface=org.freedesktop.systemd1.Activator member=ActivationRequest dest=org.freedesktop.systemd1 spid=527 tpid=1 scontext=system_u:system_r:accountsd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tclass=dbus exe="/usr/bin/dbus-daemon" sauid=81 hostname=? addr=? terminal=?' Ignore the date: the Pandaboard does not have a battery-backed RTC so it's always January 1, 2000 00:00 UTC (or Dec 31, 1999, 19:00 US Central) on boot until ntp/chrony can set the clock. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-targeted-3.11.1-50.fc18.noarch How reproducible: every time (?) Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot Pandaboard from SD card with F18 Beta image 2. check network status 3. check /var/log/messages for errors from NetworkManager 4. ausearch -m USER_AVC Actual results: network sometimes fails to start on boot logs show errors with NetworkManager and dbus communications audit logs show send_msg blocked between NM and dbus Expected results: network comes up on boot every time Additional info: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Quality_Assurance/2012-12-03-VFAD-Fedora_18_Beta
As another test, I put the system in Permissive mode and rebooted 5 times. The network came up properly all 5 times.
