Description Juan Orti 2014-01-13 12:57:57 UTC
Description of problem:
I've configured the service abrt-upload-watch to receive abrt crashes from remote servers. When it tries to untar them, I get this errors. It tries to set the uid 25 (named) which is not installed in this server.

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/tar from using the chown capability.

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

If cree que tar debería tener la capacidad de chown de forma predeterminada.
Then debería reportar esto como un error.
Puede generar un módulo de política local para permitir este acceso.
Do
permita el acceso momentáneamente executando:
# grep tar /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
