Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

FC3 " avc: denied" issue: msg#00232

Subject: FC3 " avc: denied" issue
I have a fully upgraded (as of today) FC3 system on which I always could install the NVIDIA drivers. But, to get a successful install after the last upgrade (today) (which included selinux-policy-targeted.noarch 1.17.30-2.58) I now have to "setenforce 0" before installing the NVIDIA drivers. Otherwise, the install fails due to several access denied issues, e.g.:

Dec 25 18:51:34 tiger kernel: audit(1104022294.445:0): avc: denied { write } for pid=3956 exe=/sbin/ldconfig path=/var/log/nvidia-installer.log dev=hda6 ino=517383 scontext=root:system_r:ldconfig_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_log_t tclass=file Dec 25 18:51:34 tiger kernel: audit(1104022294.801:0): avc: denied { read } for pid=3956 exe=/sbin/ldconfig name=libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.6629 dev=hda4 ino=194830 scontext=root:system_r:ldconfig_t tcontext=root:object_r:lib_t tclass=file Dec 25 18:51:35 tiger kernel: audit(1104022295.012:0): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=3956 exe=/sbin/ldconfig path=/usr/X11R6/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1.0.6629 dev=hda4 ino=194830 scontext=root:system_r:ldconfig_t tcontext=root:object_r:lib_t tclass=file Dec 25 18:51:38 tiger kernel: audit(1104022298.997:0): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=3956 exe=/sbin/ldconfig path=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.0.6629 dev=hda4 ino=521611 scontext=root:system_r:ldconfig_t tcontext=root:object_r:lib_t tclass=file/avc

The initial context of root is "root:system_r:unconfined_t" and I can't change to "root:sysadm_r:sysadm_t". I did a "fixfiles relabel" and reboot without changing the outcome.

I don't think the issue is with the NVIDIA drivers as they worked on FC3 before, and as "setenforce 0" "fixes" the issue.

I would appreciate pointers to what could be wrong.

Best regards, Erwin
