ok, the output of sealert -l 2f194ec1-0764-48b0-b66c-d84734105283

Summary:

SELinux is preventing sshd (sshd_t) "write" to ./home (home_root_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by sshd. The current boolean settings do not
allow this access. If you have not setup sshd to require this access this may
signal an intrusion attempt. If you do intend this access you need to change the
booleans on this system to allow the access.

Allowing Access:

Confined processes can be configured to to run requiring different access,
SELinux provides booleans to allow you to turn on/off access as needed. The
boolean allow_polyinstantiation is set incorrectly.
Boolean Description:
Allow login programs to use polyinstantiated directories.


Fix Command:
# setsebool -P allow_polyinstantiation 1

so I run:
# setsebool -P allow_polyinstantiation 1

And next time I tried login on the console through gdm:

Feb 26 15:41:53 ipaclient01 setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing gdm-session-wo
r (xdm_t) "write" to ./home (home_root_t). For complete SELinux messages. run se
alert -l cf03e02d-4bdd-484d-bf6f-d70c553bdab8

running sealert -l cf03e02d-4bdd-484d-bf6f-d70c553bdab8 provides a
similar output but one substitutes sshd for gdm als source, obviously.

There is another SElinux error in the log:

Feb 26 15:46:34 ipaclient01 setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing gdm-session-wo
r (xdm_t) "create" to ./casenjo (home_root_t). For complete SELinux messages. ru
n sealert -l a104e0b3-0dc4-4dc7-ba6a-494b7ca070de

Summary:

SELinux is preventing gdm-session-wor (xdm_t) "create" to ./casenjo
(home_root_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by gdm-session-wor. It is not expected that this
access is required by gdm-session-wor 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 ./casenjo,

restorecon -v './casenjo'

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.

This time I cannot run restorecon -v './casenjo' because the folder
./casenjo simply does not exist., neither gdm nor sshd could
autocreate them.

I'd very much rather that selinux stayed enabled, obviously.

Hope the output of sealert is helpful to you guys.
