Would you mind running sealert -l 90fc420a-dec9-47ce-afa5-6132c99ec61d and posting the output here so we can see what the problem is?


[bobg@box9 ~]$ sealert -l 90fc420a-dec9-47ce-afa5-6132c99ec61d
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/xauth from write access on the None /root.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests
***************************

If you believe that xauth should be allowed write access on the root
<Unknown> 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 xauth /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Ok so for some odd reason root's home directory isn't labeled properly. You can see this by typing ls -Z in / and seeing that /root is labeled default_t and then checking what it should be by typing matchpathcon /root. Did you have SELinux disabled at any point? If so you might want to relabel your entire system (touch /.autorelabel and reboot). If not just type restorecon -Rvv /root and it should fix up all of the labels properly.
