Hello,
I'm using a fully updated rawhide installation. Today I got some updates
from extras. I think the problem started when the update of gutenprint
was installed. I keep getting this message from sealert:
Summary
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/hald (hald_t) "read" access to inotify
(inotifyfs_t).
Detailed Description
SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/hald. It is not
expected that
this access is required by /usr/sbin/hald and this access may signal an
intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or
configuration of the application is causing it to require additional
access.
Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
against this
package.
Allowing Access
Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to
restore the default system file context for inotify, restorecon -v
inotify.
There is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead,
you can
generate a local policy module to allow this access - see
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 - or you can
disable SELinux protection entirely for the application. Disabling
SELinux
protection is not recommended. Please file a
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.
Changing the "hald_disable_trans" boolean to true will disable SELinux
protection this application: "setsebool -P hald_disable_trans=1."
The following command will allow this access:
setsebool -P hald_disable_trans=1

I've already gotten more than 260 of those messages in 5 minutes. I had
to kill auditd when it used 58% of my 1GB ram. For a daemon that has to
do some logging this is quite extreme.
Has anyone else seen this problem? Should I file bugreports somewhere?
thanks,
Bart
