NOTE: The bug is that the bash shell cannot handle the parentheses in (rm) unless you escape them. SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/systemd/systemd from write access on the sock_file notify. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that systemd should be allowed write access on the notify sock_file by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # grep (rm) /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:docker_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:docker_tmpfs_t:s0 Target Objects notify [ sock_file ] Source (rm) Source Path /usr/lib/systemd/systemd Port Host mothership.depaulo.org Source RPM Packages systemd-216-20.fc21.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-105.3.fc21.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name mothership.depaulo.org Platform Linux mothership.depaulo.org 3.18.6-200.fc21.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Feb 6 22:59:42 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 106 First Seen 2015-03-03 22:27:34 EST Last Seen 2015-03-04 07:14:39 EST Local ID 4c3277e0-81e2-4cf3-afa1-d5f211c29adf Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1425471279.886:196843): avc: denied { write } for pid=8528 comm="systemd-logind" name="notify" dev="tmpfs" ino=24015030 scontext=system_u:system_r:docker_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:docker_tmpfs_t:s0 tclass=sock_file permissive=1 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1425471279.886:196843): arch=x86_64 syscall=sendmsg success=yes exit=ECHILD a0=f a1=7fff4fb0e870 a2=4000 a3=ffffffff items=0 ppid=8157 pid=8528 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=systemd-logind exe=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-logind subj=system_u:system_r:docker_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: (rm),docker_t,docker_tmpfs_t,sock_file,write
