Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/pppd from 'open' accesses on the chr_file /dev/ppp. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that pppd should be allowed open access on the ppp chr_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 pppd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:ppp_device_t:s0 Target Objects /dev/ppp [ chr_file ] Source pppd Source Path /usr/sbin/pppd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages ppp-2.4.5-30.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages 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) 3.9.10-200.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:36:53 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 5 First Seen 2013-07-23 23:07:00 CEST Last Seen 2013-07-23 23:26:12 CEST Local ID 57a20dac-d333-4ac5-8835-4cb8a2a5b571 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1374614772.695:961): avc: denied { open } for pid=1769 comm="pppd" path="/dev/ppp" dev="devtmpfs" ino=15690 scontext=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:ppp_device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1374614772.695:961): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7f09f03e5f60 a1=80002 a2=2dc6c0 a3=7fff0aef1930 items=0 ppid=1064 pid=1769 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=pppd exe=/usr/sbin/pppd subj=system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: pppd,NetworkManager_t,ppp_device_t,chr_file,open audit2allow #============= NetworkManager_t ============== #!!!!
