Bug 450530

Description of problem:

setroubleshoot browser reported the following problem on a system being backed
up by amanda:

Summary:

SELinux is preventing killpgrp (amanda_t) "signal" to <Unknown> (fsadm_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by killpgrp. It is not expected that this access
is required by killpgrp 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.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.
