Description Kazuo Moriwaka 2016-11-24 08:16:54 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing pmcd from 'getattr' accesses on the file /var/lib/pcp/pmns/root.

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

If you believe that pmcd should be allowed getattr access on the root 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:
# ausearch -c 'pmcd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-pmcd
# semodule -X 300 -i my-pmcd.pp

Comment 1 Lukas Vrabec 2016-11-25 12:54:05 UTC
How are pcp daemons started? pmcd daemon runds under init_t which is wrong.

Same problem here with Fedora 25 and pcp-3.11.7-1.fc25.x86_64

I get several SELinux messages when the pmcd starts via pmcd.service for example:

SELinux is preventing pmcd from open access on the file /var/tmp/pcp.xDnpSdsBs/pcp.env.path.
SELinux is preventing pmcd from getattr access on the file /var/log/pcp/pmcd/pmcd.log.
SELinux is preventing pmcd from getattr access on the file /var/log/pcp/pmcd/xfs.log.
SELinux is preventing pmcd from read access on the directory /var/log/pcp/pmcd.
SELinux is preventing pmcd from read access on the directory /var/lib/pcp/pmdas.
