systemd reboot

systemd reboot

[Russell Coker]

# cat /lib/systemd/system/reboot.target
cat: /lib/systemd/system/reboot.target: Permission denied
# systemctl reboot
... it reboots

Should systemd be doing some sort of access check on reboot.target?

I don't think so. The access check is on systemd-reboot.service i believe.

I was wrong. It is doing an acccess check on reboot.target

Thanks for the pointer, I put in an auditallow rule and got the following when 
user_t runs "systemctl reboot".  It's doing the permission check on systemd-
logind.

Do you have any idea of where I should look for the cause of this?
