problem with hostnamectl

[Ed Greshko]

Hi,

I just installed a F18 system from the DVD choosing only to install the KDE desktop.  I then did a "yum update" and updated everything.

I want to change the host name so I tried using hostnamectl.  It fails and issues the following message.

Failed to issue method call: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

In the audit.log I find.

type=USER_AVC msg=audit(1361418023.172:331): pid=618 uid=81 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 msg='avc:  denied  { send_msg } for msgtype=method_return dest=:1.70 spid=2188 tpid=2214 scontext=system_u:system_r:systemd_hostnamed_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=dbus  exe="/usr/bin/dbus-daemon" sauid=81 hostname=? addr=? terminal=?'

What needs to be done to correct the problem.  A known issue?
