Hey Guys,


Any ideas why logrotate is trying to access /root as shown by the avc
message bellow:

lrfurtado:~# ausearch -ts today

time->Thu Mar 24 06:25:45 2011
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1300947945.464:26): arch=40000003 syscall=5

type=AVC msg=audit(1300947945.464:26): avc:  denied  { search } for

scontext=system_u:system_r:logrotate_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023
tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:unconfined_home_dir_t:s0 tclass=dir



is this the issue described here :

 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471463

For now I have added :

allow logrotate_t unconfined_home_dir_t:dir search;

to my local module to shut up the avc messages. IS there any to stop
logrotate from generating those AVC messages other then adding the allow
rule above?


Best Regards.
Luciano
