Mysterious "avc: denied" boot message.

awohld · #1 1st April 2006, 05:23 AM

What causes this kind of boot message? I disabled enforcement of SELINUX.

Code:

Mar 31 23:00:40 localhost kernel: audit(1143867638.142:2): avc:  denied  { getattr } for  pid=2062 comm="hald" name="/" dev=dm-3 ino=2 scontext=system_u:system_r:hald_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=dir
Mar 31 23:00:40 localhost kernel: audit(1143867638.142:3): avc:  denied  { getattr } for  pid=2062 comm="hald" name="/" dev=dm-4 ino=2 scontext=system_u:system_r:hald_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t:s0 tclass=dir
Mar 31 23:00:40 localhost kernel: audit(1143867638.182:4): avc:  denied  { getattr } for  pid=2062 comm="hald" name="/" dev=dm-3 ino=2 scontext=system_u:system_r:hald_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=dir
Mar 31 23:00:40 localhost kernel: audit(1143867638.182:5): avc:  denied  { getattr } for  pid=2062 comm="hald" name="/" dev=dm-4 ino=2 scontext=system_u:system_r:hald_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t:s0 tclass=dir

Code:

[root@localhost ~]# sestatus
SELinux status:                 enabled
SELinuxfs mount:                /selinux
Current mode:                   permissive
Mode from config file:          enforcing
Policy version:                 20
Policy from config file:        targeted

disable seLinux completly and see if the messages persist.
I'm thinking of: selinux=0
kernel boot parameter
