Summary SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/ntpd (ntpd_t) "read" access to pipe:[9396] (firstboot_t). Detailed Description SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/ntpd. It is not expected that this access is required by /usr/sbin/ntpd and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package. Allowing Access Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for pipe:[9396], restorecon -v pipe:[9396]. There is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 - or you can disable SELinux protection entirely for the application. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package. Changing the "ntpd_disable_trans" boolean to true will disable SELinux protection this application: "setsebool -P ntpd_disable_trans=1." The following command will allow this access: setsebool -P ntpd_disable_trans=1 Additional Information Source Context system_u:system_r:ntpd_t Target Context system_u:system_r:firstboot_t Target Objects pipe:[9396] [ fifo_file ] Affected RPM Packages ntp-4.2.2p1-5.el5 [application] Policy RPM selinux-policy-2.4.6-30.el5 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Permissive Plugin Name plugins.disable_trans Host Name localhost.localdomain Platform Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jan 26 14:15:21 EST 2007 i686 athlon Alert Count 1 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages avc: denied { read } for comm="ntpd" dev=pipefs egid=0 euid=0 exe="/usr/sbin/ntpd" exit=0 fsgid=0 fsuid=0 gid=0 items=0 name="[8709]" path="pipe:[9396]" pid=2581 scontext=system_u:system_r:ntpd_t:s0 sgid=0 subj=system_u:system_r:ntpd_t:s0 suid=0 tclass=fifo_file tcontext=system_u:system_r:firstboot_t:s0 tty=(none) uid=0 Additional Information: I get this installing Xandros Bridgeways on RHEL5 (original release, no updates). At this time the product installs a plugin to manage the time server but it has not been executed as yet. I have the timeserver enabled and running. I don't believe this has anything to do with the product I'm installing however. I am running in a VMware virtual machine on RHEL4 update 4.
