Whenever I do "su" in an xterm window, I get two AVC

command xauth is denied to read and write a file .xauthXXXXX where
XXXXX is some random string different each time. (I encose an example
below.)
I would bugzilla this, but I'm (as often) not quite sure if it's the
policy or if it's me. That is, if maybe this is not intended to be
allowed? Or if there there something else I might be missing? I
can't see any boolean I would connect to this.
So, is this a bug I should report, or is it intentional?
Remove the file and see if xauth creates a new one and what the type of the newly created
file is: ls -alZ /root | grep .xauth
What distro are you using?
If xauth creates the file it should be type xauth_home_t, not admin_home_t. Maybe
something else creates it?
The fact is that the file is mislabeled.
