Description of problem: Trying to start a VPN tunnel using L2TP IPsec VPN Manager 1.0.8. libreswan has recently replaced openswan where there were no problems SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/mkdir from 'create' accesses on the directory pluto. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that mkdir should be allowed create 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 mkdir /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:var_run_t:s0 Target Objects pluto [ dir ] Source mkdir Source Path /usr/bin/mkdir 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 2 First Seen 2013-05-29 23:47:15 CEST Last Seen 2013-05-30 00:18:04 CEST Local ID 60430713-16fa-44ef-9822-bde6ecb8a2f0 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1369865884.226:322): avc: denied { create } for pid=2001 comm="mkdir" name="pluto" scontext=system_u:system_r:ipsec_mgmt_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1369865884.226:322): arch=x86_64 syscall=mkdir success=no exit=EACCES a0=7fff13498ec1 a1=1ed a2=1ed a3=7fff13496dc0 items=0 ppid=1993 pid=2001 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=mkdir exe=/usr/bin/mkdir subj=system_u:system_r:ipsec_mgmt_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: mkdir,ipsec_mgmt_t,var_run_t,dir,create audit2allow #============= ipsec_mgmt_t ============== allow ipsec_mgmt_t var_run_t:dir create; audit2allow -R require { type ipsec_mgmt_t; } #============= ipsec_mgmt_t ============== files_create_var_run_dirs(ipsec_mgmt_t) Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.4 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
