Bug 1281765

Could you please attach raw AVC msgs?

Thank you.

I'm unable to reproduce. I tried to use restorecon on those files, but it still works. I'll test it on a virtual rawhide.

With "setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect false" (default) I get this error:

httpd does not appear to be running and proxying cobbler, or SELinux is in the way. Original traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I think that in order to reproduce I should add a distribution, but it's difficult to understand how: I used a fresh Fedora rawhide installation, and here's what happened:

# dnf install cobbler-web # why it requires yum on f24? and why cobbler doesn't require cobbler-web even if cobbler sync needs it?
[...]
# sed -i "s;^\(module = manage_\)\(bind\|isc\)$;\1dnsmasq;" /etc/cobbler/modules.conf # replace manage_bind and manage_isc with manage_dnsmasq
# systemctl start httpd cobblerd
# cobbler sync

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python2.7 from read access on the file /etc/dnsmasq.conf.

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

If you believe that python2.7 should be allowed read access on the dnsmasq.conf file 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 cobblerd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
