Description of problem: Can't start ipsec. Trying to use L2TP IPsec VPN Manager 1.0.8 to start a tunnel. libreswan has recently replaced openswan. SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/chmod from 'setattr' accesses on the directory pluto. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that chmod should be allowed setattr access on the pluto 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 chmod /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:ipsec_mgmt_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:ipsec_var_run_t:s0 Target Objects pluto [ dir ] Source chmod Source Path /usr/bin/chmod Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages coreutils-8.17-8.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-96.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri May 24 20:10:49 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 9 First Seen 2013-05-29 23:49:21 CEST Last Seen 2013-05-30 00:53:59 CEST Local ID f4799698-f73f-4eaf-a836-8f3706c5d876 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1369868039.139:388): avc: denied { setattr } for pid=3893 comm="chmod" name="pluto" dev="tmpfs" ino=24499 scontext=system_u:system_r:ipsec_mgmt_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:ipsec_var_run_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1369868039.139:388): arch=x86_64 syscall=fchmodat success=no exit=EACCES a0=ffffffffffffff9c a1=1dd00f0 a2=1c0 a3=4000 items=0 ppid=3884 pid=3893 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=chmod exe=/usr/bin/chmod subj=system_u:system_r:ipsec_mgmt_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: chmod,ipsec_mgmt_t,ipsec_var_run_t,dir,setattr audit2allow #============= ipsec_mgmt_t ============== allow ipsec_mgmt_t ipsec_var_run_t:dir setattr; audit2allow -R require { type ipsec_mgmt_t; type ipsec_var_run_t; class dir setattr; } #============= ipsec_mgmt_t ============== allow ipsec_mgmt_t ipsec_var_run_t:dir setattr; Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.4 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
