Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent from 'write' accesses on the chr_file kmsg. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that systemd-tty-ask-password-agent should be allowed write access on the kmsg chr_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 systemd-tty-ask /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:systemd_passwd_agent_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:kmsg_device_t:s0 Target Objects kmsg [ chr_file ] Source systemd-tty-ask Source Path /usr/bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages systemd-201-2.fc18.5.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-91.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.8.8-202.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 17 23:25:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-04-22 16:22:00 PDT Last Seen 2013-04-22 16:22:00 PDT Local ID 443c7ed8-6bbf-4fbe-9ed7-389105498717 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1366672920.857:181): avc: denied { write } for pid=907 comm="systemd-tty-ask" name="kmsg" dev="devtmpfs" ino=1034 scontext=system_u:system_r:systemd_passwd_agent_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:kmsg_device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1366672920.857:181): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7f40a46e5134 a1=80101 a2=1d a3=7fff339e03c8 items=0 ppid=1 pid=907 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=systemd-tty-ask exe=/usr/bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent subj=system_u:system_r:systemd_passwd_agent_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: systemd-tty-ask,systemd_passwd_agent_t,kmsg_device_t,chr_file,write audit2allow #============= systemd_passwd_agent_t ============== allow systemd_passwd_agent_t kmsg_device_t:chr_file write; audit2allow -R require { type systemd_passwd_agent_t; } #============= systemd_passwd_agent_t ============== dev_write_kmsg(systemd_passwd_agent_t) Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.8.8-202.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
