Description of problem: Occurs on boot of a Fedora 19 live image built from current repositories. SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/useradd from 'setattr' accesses on the file passwd-. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that useradd should be allowed setattr access on the passwd- file 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 useradd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:useradd_t:s0 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:net_conf_t:s0 Target Objects passwd- [ file ] Source useradd Source Path /usr/sbin/useradd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages shadow-utils-4.1.5.1-4.fc19.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-22.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.0-0.rc3.git0.3.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 18 21:39:31 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-03-19 19:39:22 EDT Last Seen 2013-03-19 19:39:22 EDT Local ID bae44877-bcab-481d-97c4-efd2f9701074 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1363736362.933:44): avc: denied { setattr } for pid=678 comm="useradd" name="passwd-" dev="dm-0" ino=151490 scontext=system_u:system_r:useradd_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:net_conf_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1363736362.933:44): arch=x86_64 syscall=fchown success=yes exit=0 a0=a a1=0 a2=0 a3=1 items=0 ppid=553 pid=678 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=useradd exe=/usr/sbin/useradd subj=system_u:system_r:useradd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: useradd,useradd_t,net_conf_t,file,setattr audit2allow #============= useradd_t ============== allow useradd_t net_conf_t:file setattr; audit2allow -R require { type useradd_t; } #============= useradd_t ============== sysnet_setattr_config(useradd_t) Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.0-0.rc3.git0.3.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport
Final blocker: "In most cases, there must be no SELinux 'AVC: denied' messages or abrt crash notifications on initial boot and subsequent login"
There's also a "/usr/sbin/useradd write passwd-".
