Description Miroslav Lichvar 2017-03-07 10:01:41 UTC
Description of problem:
When ptp4l from the linuxptp package is running, pmc doesn't get any responses from ptp4l over Unix domain socket.

type=AVC msg=audit(1488880198.380:52): avc:  denied  { sendto } for  pid=850 comm="ptp4l" path="/run/pmc.884" scontext=system_u:system_r:ptp4l_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=unix_dgram_socket

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.13.1-124.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install linuxptp
1. vi /etc/sysconfig/ptp4l (e.g. OPTIONS="-f /etc/ptp4l.conf -i eth0 -S")
2. systemctl start ptp4l
3. pmc -b 0 -u 'GET TIME_STATUS_NP'

Actual results:
# pmc -b 0 -u 'GET TIME_STATUS_NP'
sending: GET TIME_STATUS_NP

Expected results:
# pmc -b 0 -u 'GET TIME_STATUS_NP'
sending: GET TIME_STATUS_NP
