The rest were caused by you doing a restorecon -R -v /, or the original mislabeling of /root. What node is insmod trying to create in /dev? Do you have any idea what is going on here? This is very strange that you would get this avc since insmod_t is supposed to be unconfined in FC-7 Also Thank you for responding. Indeed it is the mknod entry that is causing trouble. I use smartlink modem and thus I have added to /etc/modprobe.conf alias char-major-243 slusb alias char-major-242 slamr install slamr modprobe --ignore-install ungrab-winmodem ; modprobe --ignore-install slamr; test -e /dev/slamr0 || (/bin/mknod -m 660 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0 2>/dev/null && chgrp dialout /dev/slamr0) so that I do not have to type as root user (su -) modprobe ungrab-winmodem, modprobe slamr, slmodemd -c USA /dev/slamr0 everytime I start up the computer. This is for automation. As a result of this denied avc, automation of loading slamr module fails. This is the only one now causing trouble audit(1180952201.602:4): avc: denied { write } for pid=675 comm="mknod" name="/" dev=tmpfs ino=752 scontext=system_u:system_r:insmod_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 tclass=dir How should I tackle this one, without disabling selinux, or setting it to permissive?
