I am running FC3 with a vanilla 2.6.10 kernel patched for Win4lin. I am
not sure what has happened but all of a sudden I started getting a whole
slew of the errors listed below each time I boot.
Jan 30 05:18:48 host kernel: audit(1107080328.663:0): avc: denied {
write } for pid=3575 exe=/usr/sbin/ntpd name=log dev=tmpfs ino=6673
scontext=user_u:system_r:ntpd_t tcontext=user_u:object_r:device_t
tclass=sock_file
From what I understand they are related to selinux. They are not all
the same but all deal with kernel: audit. The system log shows me that
they happen while the system is running also. I have not noticed any
system degradation but something must be wrong. I do not think I have
done anything to course this except update my system. When I run system
monitor I see under the Resource Monitor tab I see a device listed as
/dev/shm with a type as tmpfs with a total of 125MB but 0% used. When I
look in the /dev directory there is no /dev/shm or /dev/tmpfs for that
matter. Is this related to the problem since the error lists
dev=tmpfs? Any I ideas as to what is wrong or how to correct?
Thanks
