Description Kevin Fenzi 2008-03-05 19:19:06 UTC 
/sbin/telinit 6

gives: 

telinit: Unable to send message: Connection refused

Doesn't seem to be a selinux related issue.
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2008-03-06 03:45:00 UTC 
Is this after installing upstart but before rebooting? What do you get if you
strace it?
Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2008-03-06 04:05:12 UTC 
Fresh rawhide install from today. 
Reboot before or after, doesn't matter... does the same... 

I'll attach a strace output.

strace -f of telinit 6
Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2008-03-06 04:51:09 UTC 
I'm assuming upstart's init still seems to be running OK?
Comment 5 Kevin Fenzi 2008-03-06 07:12:54 UTC 
Yeah, seems to be: 

[root@rawhide-20080305x8664 ~]# ps auxww | grep init
root         1  0.0  0.0  10440   740 ?        Ss   Mar05   0:01 init [5]
Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2008-03-06 17:53:14 UTC 
Do things like 'initctl events' and similar work?
Comment 7 Kevin Fenzi 2008-03-06 18:32:24 UTC 
Nope.

[root@rawhide-20080305x8664 ~]# initctl events
initctl: Unable to send message: Connection refused

Happy to provide ssh access to the vm if you want to poke around.

I see this in selinux mls policy.

Mar 11 11:45:49 rawhide kernel: type=1400 audit(1205253937.770:3): avc:  denied  { sendto } for  
pid=1 comm="init" path=002F636F6D2F7562756E74752F757073746172742F31343132

s15:c0.c1023 tclass=unix_dgram_socket

If you grep for initrc_t in /var/log/messages or /var/log/audit/audit.log do you see similar avcs (without 
the -s15: c0.c1023)?

Duplicate of 436783?
Comment 10 Kevin Fenzi 2008-03-11 17:09:51 UTC 
On further poking, my issue seemed to be that sysvinit was installed as well as
upstart, so /sbin/init was sysvinit and telinet was from upstart. ;) 

I couldn't duplicate it after newer rawhides removed everything from sysvinit. 

I also did try with 'setenforce 0' and didn't see any selinux issues. 

i think this can be CLOSED->rawhide for now.
