Hi, Installed F12 and did a security update. Now, I get SELinux denial error. SELinux currently in permissive mode. Summary: SELinux is preventing access to files with the label, file_t. Detailed Description: SELinux permission checks on files labeled file_t are being denied. file_t is the context the SELinux kernel gives to files that do not have a label. This indicates a serious labeling problem. No files on an SELinux box should ever be labeled file_t. If you have just added a new disk drive to the system you can relabel it using the restorecon command. Otherwise you should relabel the entire file system. Allowing Access: You can execute the following command as root to relabel your computer system: "touch /.autorelabel; reboot" Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:file_t:s0 Target Objects /home [ dir ] Source gdm-simple-gree Source Path /usr/libexec/gdm-simple-greeter Port <Unknown> Host home-desktop Source RPM Packages gdm-2.28.1-24.fc12 Target RPM Packages filesystem-2.4.30-2.fc12 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.6.32-41.fc12 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name file Host Name home-desktop Platform Linux home-desktop 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Sat Nov 7 21:25:57 EST 2009 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen Thu 24 Dec 2009 02:30:08 AM IST Last Seen Thu 24 Dec 2009 02:30:08 AM IST Local ID 6b1ff85c-05fe-4d37-945b-6cd2d54b92fa Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=home-desktop type=AVC msg=audit(1261602008.595:11510): avc: denied { search } for pid=1357 comm="gdm-simple-gree" name="/" dev=sda2 ino=2 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t:s0 tclass=dir node=home-desktop type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1261602008.595:11510): arch=40000003 syscall=292 success=no exit=-13 a0=12 a1=8d6f400 a2=1002fce a3=8d6ec48 items=0 ppid=1325 pid=1357 auid=4294967295 uid=42 gid=473 euid=42 suid=42 fsuid=42 egid=473 sgid=473 fsgid=473 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="gdm-simple-gree" exe="/usr/libexec/gdm-simple-greeter" subj=system_u:system_r:xdm_t:s0- s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Any idea why this happened after the update? What could be done to prevent this. I am quite a newbie in SELinux scenario. Does, restorecon command fix (restorecon /usr/libexec/gdm-simple-greeter)?
