-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 > 2. The AVC denial is type=AVC msg=audit(1369081665.408:8113): avc: denied > { create } for pid=18379 comm="usermod" name="passwd+" > scontext=specialuser_u:system_r:pwrecoveryd_t:s0 > tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 tclass=file The avc shows a process running as SELinux user is attempting to create a file labeled system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0. Since you are changing the SELinux user component you get an AVC. Does your app do a setfscreatecon() call? domain_obj_id_change_exemption(pwrecoveryd_t) is probably what you need. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlGbcZkACgkQrlYvE4MpobMVegCfVG3yKECgQriAUxY8mxAA85cJ cP8AnisdaxW1NcIvuwMzRp65r+/KiEeV =R7ik -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- selinux mailing list selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinux
