Hey folks,
I'm trying to setup Samba on this F10 server. To do so, I am trying to run a program out of the "System" menu.
Menu path: System -> Administration -> Samba
The program does not run. Instead, SELinux comes up with the following error.
--- Begin SELinux Alert --- Summary:
SELinux is preventing polkitd (polkit_t) "search" to ./32587 (unconfined_notrans_t).
Detailed Description:
SELinux denied access requested by polkitd. It is not expected that this access is required by polkitd and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access.
Allowing Access:
Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for ./32587,
restorecon -v './32587'
If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

The resolution instructions do not work as listed above. Basically, I don't think restorecon can find the directory - I think its made when you try to run the program. Each time you run it, you get a separate SELinux error with a different numbered directory at the end of the command.
Thoughts?
