gpsd on F11-64

[rick]

I have a shiny new F11 install and am getting the following in the syslog:


Jun 18 15:41:16 calvin setroubleshoot: SELinux prevented gpsd from 
using the terminal 0. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 
d33b557f-d1a4-4bde-add4-93b93ce91cc6




Fedora seems to be gpsd-challenged but the alert suggests trying 
restorecon which does not seem to do anything...



Summary:

SELinux is preventing gpsd (gpsd_t) "write" to run (var_run_t).



and fyi:



# ls -Z gpsd
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:gpsd_exec_t:s0 gpsd



...so does this warrant a bug report on the policy or is it possible 
to change the context of the daemon's file so that it will work?

fyi, the audit msg is below and the gpsd init script looks for the 
file in the wrong place, so perhaps the policy expects it to be in 
/usr/bin instead of usr/sbin also...








any help appreciated,



rick
