Quoting Dan:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think this is a leaked file descriptor from hal. Hal opens the lock
file for write and then fails to call fcntl(fd,F_SETFD, FD_CLOSEXEC)
When the confined mount program runs, the SELinux kernel notices the open file
descriptor, checks the domain to see if it has access, then closes it with the
error.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's a ton of duplicates, and so I'm going to push this into Fedora
this afternoon. Okay to commit upstream?
Richard.
