Description Joel Andres Granados 2008-07-15 17:19:42 UTC 
Description of problem:
We have firstaidkit, (python script) that has a plugin called passwd which
serves the purpose of changing the root passwd. additionally firstaidkit logs to
/var/log/firstaidkit.log When I run any other plugin the log file is quite ok
and there are no problems but when I run passwd, it creates an SElinux denial :(
 I'm pretty sure that its at the moment when the passwd gets changed.


How reproducible:
always.  only with that plugin.  Other plugins log to that file with no problem

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install firstaidkit-plugin-passwd -y
2. firstaidkit -f passwd resetRoot
3. This should produce the AVC denial seen in /var/log/messages or
/var/log/audit/audit.log
  
Actual results:
AVC denial

Expected results:
For SElinux to let Firstaidkti change the root passwd.

Additional info:
I will attach the /var/log/audit/audit.log log.  I executed firstaidkit with an
empty log.
