Description of problem: I tried to kill a process (yumBackend) because it was taking forever so I wanted to use yum. Instead of displaying a dialog box asking for root passward to allow me to kill the process, I got AVC denial. How reproducible: Always How to reproduce: 1) As a user (not in the Admins group) try to kill a root process What happens: AVC denial What is expected: Display a dialog asking for the root password and after entering it, executing the command.
