allow statement OK?

[Bill Chimiak]

I got a

	avc: denied { search } for comm="pam_console_app" dev=sdb6 egid=650 euid=0 
exe="/sbin/pam_console_apply" exit=-13 fsgid=650 fsuid=0 gid=650 items=0 
name="gdm" pid=2693 scontext=system_u:system_r:pam_console_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 
sgid=650 subj=system_u:system_r:pam_console_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 suid=0 
tclass=dir tcontext=system_u:object_r:xserver_log_t:s0 tty=(none) uid=0 


audit2allow recommended:

	allow pam_console_t xserver_log_t:dir search;

Is this a reasonable module for me to add?  To me it seems benign.

This is probably caused by a redirection stdout/stderr to the
xserver.log.  So when a confined app starts, the kernel checks the
access and closes the open file descriptors.  You could safely dontaudit
this access.

dontaudit pam_console_t xserver_log_t:dir search_dir_perms;
