Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/lxdm-binary from 'rename' accesses on the file lxdm.log. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that lxdm-binary should be allowed rename access on the lxdm.log 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 lxdm-binary /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 Target Objects lxdm.log [ file ] Source lxdm-binary Source Path /usr/sbin/lxdm-binary Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages lxdm-0.4.1-4.fc18.i686 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-94.fc18.noarch selinux- policy-3.11.1-95.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.2-200.fc18.i686 #1 SMP Mon May 13 14:48:23 UTC 2013 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-05-21 16:43:20 EDT Last Seen 2013-05-21 16:43:20 EDT Local ID ca767d43-b072-4a37-bbb1-08e00f77c894 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1369169000.833:392): avc: denied { rename } for pid=1106 comm="lxdm-binary" name="lxdm.log" dev="dm-1" ino=1311554 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1369169000.833:392): arch=i386 syscall=rename success=no exit=EACCES a0=805100c a1=8050ff6 a2=1 a3=bfb17724 items=0 ppid=1 pid=1106 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=lxdm-binary exe=/usr/sbin/lxdm-binary subj=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: lxdm-binary,xdm_t,var_log_t,file,rename audit2allow #============= xdm_t ============== allow xdm_t var_log_t:file rename; audit2allow -R require { type xdm_t; } #============= xdm_t ============== logging_manage_generic_logs(xdm_t) Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.4 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.4-200.fc18.i686.PAE type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 683528
restorecon /var/log/lxdm.log Will fix the problem. Please reopen if this happens again.
