Description of problem: after installing vmware desktop 8 tools SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/ldconfig from 'write' accesses on the directory etc. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that ldconfig should be allowed write access on the etc 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 ldconfig /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:ldconfig_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:initrc_tmp_t:s0 Target Objects etc [ dir ] Source ldconfig Source Path /usr/sbin/ldconfig Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages glibc-2.16-31.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.x86_64 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-97.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.6-200.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 13 18:56:55 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 4 First Seen 2013-07-03 05:38:41 CEST Last Seen 2013-07-03 10:36:53 CEST Local ID b6c308c9-a807-4adb-92cc-a5093f1982e5 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1372840613.302:347): avc: denied { write } for pid=17508 comm="ldconfig" name="etc" dev="dm-1" ino=2364165 scontext=system_u:system_r:ldconfig_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:initrc_tmp_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1372840613.302:347): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=25e1980 a1=20241 a2=180 a3=12 items=0 ppid=10631 pid=17508 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=ldconfig exe=/usr/sbin/ldconfig subj=system_u:system_r:ldconfig_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: ldconfig,ldconfig_t,initrc_tmp_t,dir,write audit2allow #============= ldconfig_t ============== allow ldconfig_t initrc_tmp_t:dir write; audit2allow -R require { type initrc_tmp_t; type ldconfig_t; class dir write; } #============= ldconfig_t ============== allow ldconfig_t initrc_tmp_t:dir write; Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.5 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.6-200.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 830569
