Description of problem: I just login in after a boot up. Prioa to that I had changed my SELinux setting from disabled to permissive. I have just done a reinstall to fedora 19 and for some reason SELinux was desable by default. SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/pkla-check-authorization from 'associate' accesses on the shared memory . ***** Plugin associate (99.5 confidence) suggests ************************** If you want to change the label of to policykit_auth_t, you are not allowed to since it is not a valid file type. Then you must pick a valid file label. Do select a valid file type. List valid file labels by executing: # seinfo -afile_type -x ***** Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that pkla-check-authorization should be allowed associate access on the shm 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 pkla-check-auth /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:policykit_auth_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0 Target Objects [ shm ] Source pkla-check-auth Source Path /usr/bin/pkla-check-authorization Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages polkit-pkla-compat-0.1-2.fc19.i686 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-69.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.10.4-300.fc19.i686 #1 SMP Tue Jul 30 12:03:53 UTC 2013 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-08-06 09:32:56 CST Last Seen 2013-08-06 09:32:56 CST Local ID e8c17e75-0b05-4047-8382-e5ff017ad29a Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1375752776.308:650): avc: denied { associate } for pid=2533 comm="pkla-check-auth" key=-1519242733 scontext=system_u:system_r:policykit_auth_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0 tclass=shm type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1375752776.308:650): arch=i386 syscall=ipc success=yes exit=0 a0=17 a1=a5723213 a2=4000 a3=0 items=0 ppid=629 pid=2533 auid=4294967295 uid=999 gid=999 euid=999 suid=999 fsuid=999 egid=999 sgid=999 fsgid=999 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=pkla-check-auth exe=/usr/bin/pkla-check-authorization subj=system_u:system_r:policykit_auth_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: pkla-check-auth,policykit_auth_t,kernel_t,shm,associate Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.6 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.10.4-300.fc19.i686 type: libreport
I think you are not fully labeled correctly. Did the system relabel?
