(Not sure if it refers to the previous message, by the way)

It doesn't, because you have rebooted. Are you still getting the denials? If you can find one since the reboot, try the ausearch again and use the number after the ":" in the audit message (364 in the case above).

 > # ls -lZd /var

drwxr-xr-x  root root system_u:object_r:var_t          /var

That one looks OK.

Paul.


I am a little confused.
After rebooting again, I have about 300 messages of the same kind, similar to the first one:

Sep 20 16:16:11 ethan kernel: audit(1158761731.078:308): avc: denied { search } for pid=1359 comm="pam_console_app" name="var" dev=dm-0 ino=130817 scontext=system_u:system_r:pam_console_t:s0-s0:c0.c255 tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t:s0 tclass=dir

but...

ausearch -a 308

returns
<no matches>

The same for all the others...

Not sure what's going on there. Can you find all matches of 1158761731.078:308 in the log file using grep?

Paul.

yes

cat /var/log/messages |grep 1158761731.078:308

Sep 20 16:16:11 ethan kernel: audit(1158761731.078:308): avc: denied { search } for pid=1359 comm="pam_console_app" name="var" dev=dm-0 ino=130817 scontext=system_u:system_r:pam_console_t:s0-s0:c0.c255 tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t:s0 tclass=dir

Just that entry? Hmm, perhaps you need to be running auditd to get any more info.

Wait, I found this:
aureport -u -i

but all the events ID are larger than ID of the messages similar to the previous one. These are the only IDs which give me a result with ausearch

very strange...

These just may be a side effect of the way you have authentication configured.

In any case, what is dm-0?

The first device mapper device, which might be your root filesystem if you're using LVM or RAID.
