Description Brian J. Murrell 2013-12-03 13:36:45 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/mandb from 'search' accesses on the directory /.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that mandb should be allowed search access on the  directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep mandb /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
