Summary
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/ztcfg (insmod_t) "read write" access to
device <Unknown>.
Detailed Description
SELinux has denied the /usr/sbin/ztcfg (insmod_t) "read write" access to
device <Unknown>. <Unknown> is mislabeled, this device has the default label
of the /dev directory, which should not happen. All Character and/or Block
Devices should have a label. You can attempt to change the label of the file
using restorecon -v <Unknown>. If this device remains labeled device_t, then
this is a bug in SELinux policy. Please file a
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against the selinux-policy
package. If you look at the other similar devices labels, ls -lZ
/dev/SIMILAR, and find a type that would work for <Unknown>, you can use
chcon -t SIMILAR_TYPE <Unknown>, If this fixes the problem, you can make
this permanent by executing semanage fcontext -a -t SIMILAR_TYPE <Unknown>
If the restorecon changes the context, this indicates that the application
that created the device, created it without using SELinux APIs. If you can
figure out which application created the device, please file a
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this application.
Allowing Access
Attempt restorecon -v <Unknown> or chcon -t SIMILAR_TYPE <Unknown>
