Description Stephen Gallagher 2013-01-22 19:44:27 UTC
Description of problem:
I attempted to change the time using the KDE time and date settings panel
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/kde4/kcmdatetimehelper from 'write' accesses on the directory /root.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that kcmdatetimehelper should be allowed write access on the root 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
