Description Jan Sedlák 2013-03-22 11:07:23 UTC
Description of problem:
Tried to log in as a new user for the first time.
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gdm-session-worker from 'remove_name' accesses on the directory nshadow.

*****  Plugin catchall_labels (83.8 confidence) suggests  ********************

If you want to allow gdm-session-worker to have remove_name access on the nshadow directory
Then you need to change the label on nshadow
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE 'nshadow'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: admin_home_t, auth_cache_t, auth_home_t, cache_home_t, cgroup_t, config_home_t, data_home_t, dbus_home_t, faillog_t, fonts_cache_t, gconf_home_t, gnome_home_t, gstreamer_home_t, httpd_user_content_t, httpd_user_script_exec_t, icc_data_home_t, init_var_run_t, krb5_host_rcache_t, locale_t, mozilla_plugin_tmpfs_t, pam_var_console_t, pam_var_run_t, root_t, systemd_passwd_var_run_t, telepathy_cache_home_t, telepathy_data_home_t, tmp_t, tmpfs_t, user_fonts_t, user_home_dir_t, user_home_t, user_tmp_t, user_tmpfs_t, var_auth_t, var_lib_t, var_lock_t, var_log_t, var_run_t, var_spool_t, var_t, virt_home_t, xdm_home_t, xdm_log_t, xdm_rw_etc_t, xdm_spool_t, xdm_tmp_t, xdm_tmpfs_t, xdm_var_lib_t, xdm_var_run_t, xkb_var_lib_t, xserver_log_t. 
Then execute: 
restorecon -v 'nshadow'


*****  Plugin catchall (17.1 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that gdm-session-worker should be allowed remove_name access on the nshadow 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 gdm-session-wor /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2013-03-22 14:14:18 UTC
>Tried to log in as a new user for the first time.

After install? Or did you just add a user without password setup?

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2013-03-22 15:44:42 UTC
Did xdm try to reset a password at login?

Comment 7 Jan Sedlák 2013-03-22 15:52:39 UTC
I have booted live DVD, added new user, but set password to "ask for password on first login" and then logged on.

Comment 8 Daniel Walsh 2013-03-25 14:02:36 UTC
Is gdm manipulating the /etc/shadow directly?

Comment 9 Igor Gnatenko 2013-04-23 18:10:04 UTC
Description of problem:
1. Create user in gnome-control-center user-accounts
2. In field password use "Choose password at next login"
3. Switch to new user in GDM
4. AVC

Comment 10 Daniel Walsh 2013-04-24 17:35:39 UTC
Can gdm use a helper app for this like sshd does?


/usr/sbin/unix_update

Comment 11 Igor Gnatenko 2013-05-15 22:28:32 UTC
Not reproduced.
I think that can close bug.

Comment 12 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 17:48:32 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 13 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-17 14:53:55 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
