Description Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams 2007-07-17 12:56:35 UTC 
The mod_dnssd package requires dbus/avahi in order to work, but the default
policy interferes. I *think* these are the rules that need to be enabled by this
boolean:

#============= avahi_t ==============
allow avahi_t httpd_t:dbus send_msg;

#============= httpd_t ==============
allow httpd_t avahi_t:dbus send_msg;
allow httpd_t system_dbusd_t:dbus send_msg;
allow httpd_t system_dbusd_t:unix_stream_socket connectto;
allow httpd_t system_dbusd_var_run_t:dir search;
allow httpd_t system_dbusd_var_run_t:sock_file write;

It would be appreciated if this change could be ported back to FC6 as well.

I seem to still be getting 1 more message:

audit2allow says:
