> No. Not sure what it is that you are seeing. Maybe auditallow > execute_no_trans or double check that your policy isn't allowing it > (e.g. sesearch -A -s systemd_t -p execute_no_trans) No execute_no_trans are logged (with an auditallow rule). There is actually one execute_no_trans over itself (systemd_exec_t -- /usr/lib/systemd/systemd). So systemd might re-exec or fork to get another pid. But the pid in the denials is, in the case of systemd-logind, the final pid of that daemon. Also in the audit logs, the odd denial (e.g. 11/06/19 17:31:39.298:30) is prior to the nnp_transition info (e.g. 11/06/19 17:31:39.466:35). <<<<<<<< log snippets $ ps -efZ | grep logind system_u:system_r:systemd_logind_t:s0 root 478 1 0 17:31 ? 00:00:00 /lib/systemd/systemd-logind type=PROCTITLE msg=audit(11/06/19 17:31:39.298:30) : proctitle=(d-logind) type=PATH msg=audit(11/06/19 17:31:39.298:30) : item=1 name=/run/systemd/inhibit inode=14431 dev=00:15 mode=dir,755 ouid=root ogid=root rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:systemd_logind_inhibit_runtime_t:s0 nametype=CREATE cap_fp=none cap_fi=none cap_fe=0 cap_fver=0 cap_frootid=0 type=PATH msg=audit(11/06/19 17:31:39.298:30) : item=0 name=/run/systemd/ inode=10008 dev=00:15 mode=dir,755 ouid=root ogid=root rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:systemd_runtime_t:s0 nametype=PARENT cap_fp=none cap_fi=none cap_fe=0 cap_fver=0 cap_frootid=0 type=CWD msg=audit(11/06/19 17:31:39.298:30) : cwd=/ type=SYSCALL msg=audit(11/06/19 17:31:39.298:30) : arch=x86_64 syscall=mkdir success=yes exit=0 a0=0x559af6611a00 a1=0755 a2=0x0 a3=0x7 items=2 ppid=1 pid=478 auid=unset uid=root gid=root euid=root suid=root fsuid=root egid=root sgid=root fsgid=root tty=(none) ses=unset comm=(d-logind) exe=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd subj=system_u:system_r:systemd_t:s0 key=(null) type=AVC msg=audit(11/06/19 17:31:39.298:30) : avc: denied { create } for pid=478 comm=(d-logind) name=inhibit scontext=system_u:system_r:systemd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:systemd_logind_inhibit_runtime_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=1 .. later... type=PROCTITLE msg=audit(11/06/19 17:31:39.466:35) : proctitle=(d-logind) type=PATH msg=audit(11/06/19 17:31:39.466:35) : item=1 name=/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 inode=263996 dev=08:01 mode=file,755 ouid=root ogid=root rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:ld_so_t:s0 nametype=NORMAL cap_fp=none cap_fi=none cap_fe=0 cap_fver=0 cap_frootid=0 type=PATH msg=audit(11/06/19 17:31:39.466:35) : item=0 name=/lib/systemd/systemd-logind inode=268205 dev=08:01 mode=file,755 ouid=root ogid=root rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:systemd_logind_exec_t:s0 nametype=NORMAL cap_fp=none cap_fi=none cap_fe=0 cap_fver=0 cap_frootid=0 type=CWD msg=audit(11/06/19 17:31:39.466:35) : cwd=/ type=EXECVE msg=audit(11/06/19 17:31:39.466:35) : argc=1 a0=/lib/systemd/systemd-logind type=BPRM_FCAPS msg=audit(11/06/19 17:31:39.466:35) : fver=0 fp=none fi=none fe=0 old_pp=chown,dac_override,dac_read_search,fowner,fsetid,kill,setgid,setuid,setpcap,linux_immutable,net_bind_service,net_broadcast,net_admin,net_raw,ipc_lock,ipc_owner,sys_module,sys_rawio,sys_chroot,sys_ptrace,sys_pacct,sys_admin,sys_boot,sys_nice,sys_resource,sys_time,sys_tty_config,mknod,lease,audit_write,audit_control,setfcap,mac_override,mac_admin,syslog,wake_alarm,block_suspend,audit_read old_pi=none old_pe=chown,dac_override,dac_read_search,fowner,fsetid,kill,setgid,setuid,setpcap,linux_immutable,net_bind_service,net_broadcast,net_admin,net_raw,ipc_lock,ipc_owner,sys_module,sys_rawio,sys_chroot,sys_ptrace,sys_pacct,sys_admin,sys_boot,sys_nice,sys_resource,sys_time,sys_tty_config,mknod,lease,audit_write,audit_control,setfcap,mac_override,mac_admin,syslog,wake_alarm,block_suspend,audit_read old_pa=none pp=chown,dac_override,dac_read_search,fowner,linux_immutable,sys_admin,sys_tty_config,audit_control,mac_admin pi=none pe=chown,dac_override,dac_read_search,fowner,linux_immutable,sys_admin,sys_tty_config,audit_control,mac_admin pa=none frootid=0 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(11/06/19 17:31:39.466:35) : arch=x86_64 syscall=execve success=yes exit=0 a0=0x559af6603750 a1=0x559af66ad680 a2=0x559af6690250 a3=0x559af66035c0 items=2 ppid=1 pid=478 auid=unset uid=root gid=root euid=root suid=root fsuid=root egid=root sgid=root fsgid=root tty=(none) ses=unset comm=systemd-logind exe=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-logind subj=system_u:system_r:systemd_logind_t:s0 key=(null) type=AVC msg=audit(11/06/19 17:31:39.466:35) : avc: granted { nnp_transition } for pid=478 comm=(d-logind) scontext=system_u:system_r:systemd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:systemd_logind_t:s0 tclass=process2 >>>>>>>> log snippets
