Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/systemctl from 'write' accesses on the fifo_file initctl. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that systemctl should be allowed write access on the initctl fifo_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 shutdown /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:apmd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:initctl_t:s0 Target Objects initctl [ fifo_file ] Source shutdown Source Path /usr/bin/systemctl Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages systemd-204-8.fc19.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-54.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.6-301.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 17 14:26:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-06-26 23:11:02 CEST Last Seen 2013-06-26 23:11:02 CEST Local ID d73de88f-b98a-4f15-879e-54c56901ace1 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1372281062.704:740): avc: denied { write } for pid=18224 comm="shutdown" name="initctl" dev="devtmpfs" ino=7963 scontext=system_u:system_r:apmd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:initctl_t:s0 tclass=fifo_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1372281062.704:740): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7f45e626cf83 a1=80901 a2=7f45e6271140 a3=0 items=0 ppid=18209 pid=18224 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=shutdown exe=/usr/bin/systemctl subj=system_u:system_r:apmd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: shutdown,apmd_t,initctl_t,fifo_file,write Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.5 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.6-301.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport

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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.
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.
