That sounds like you have incorrect security context on /lib/tls/libc-2.3.4.so (and probably other libraries). ls -lZ should show *:shlib_t for /lib/tls/lib-[0-9]*.so restorecon /lib/tls/lib*.so ought to fix this. I have the exact same problem, only with a RHEL 4 system upgraded from RHEL 3.
SELinux is enabled with the default policy.
# ls -lZ /lib/tls/lib*.so
-rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:shlib_t
/lib/tls/libc-2.3.4.so
-rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:shlib_t
/lib/tls/libm-2.3.4.so
-rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:shlib_t
/lib/tls/libpthread-2.3.4.so
-rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:shlib_t
/lib/tls/librt-2.3.4.so
-rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:shlib_t
/lib/tls/libthread_db-1.0.so
...but still...
# /sbin/service syslog restart

I've added a bug report about the same problem in RHEL4 (as described in comment #2) as bug 156696. Does the command in 156696's #4 fix this one too? No response, I'm assuming it does. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Description of problem: When the computer starts-up, sysklogd won't start because there is a "permission denied" error when loading glibc ("libc.so.6"). Here is the exact message recieved from the syslog init script: Starting system logger: syslogd: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-2.3.4-2.fc3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.
