Hello,
I received the below SELinux message today and I am trying to figure out what
caused it. I see what it says under Allow Access but I am not sure this is
what I really want to do without know why it happened in the first place.
What should I be looking at to understand what or why this has happened?
Any help I would be most grateful for.
Here is the output form SELinux
SUMMARY:
SELinux is preventing access to files with the label, file_t.
Detailed Description:
SELinux permission checks on files labeled file_t are being denied. file_t is
the context the SELinux kernel gives to files that do not have a label. This
indicates a serious labeling problem. No files on an SELinux box should ever
be labeled file_t. If you have just added a new disk drive to the system you
can relabel it using the restorecon command. Otherwise you should relabel the
entire files system.
Allowing Access:
You can execute the following command as root to relabel your computer
system: "touch /.autorelabel; reboot"
