What did you do after that installation? After the installer said

* Deploying configuration files.
* Update configuration in database.
* Setting up Cobbler..
* Restarting services.
Installation complete.
Visit https://your-satellite.redhat.com to create the RHN Satellite
administrator account.

what other steps did you make?

Generally, these look like leaked descriptors from whatever automation tool you are using.

Please provide info about how exactly you run those installations.

Comment 3 wes hayutin 2009-02-25 02:38:14 UTC
Again, we spoke about screen.  If access to the script is necessary..
please see $SVNDIR/qa/automation/sat-install-script/install-sat.sh

Comment 4 Jan Pazdziora 2009-02-25 08:05:00 UTC
Wes confirmed that the installation was run under screen and that re-running the installation without screen does not generate the AVC denials. So currently it looks like leaked file descriptor in screen.

Comment 5 Jan Pazdziora 2009-03-16 13:59:40 UTC
The same problem as bug 486742: screen possibly leaking descriptors was leading to AVC denials. Closing as NOTABUG as it's not strictly speaking a duplicate -- the cause was the same but the symptoms showed in different programs.
