Bug 588902

Description of problem:
SELinux denied access requested by sh. It is not expected that this access is
required by sh 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:

Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore
the default system file context for ./bash,

restorecon -v './bash'

If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access.
Instead, 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.

How reproducible:
When testing failover of a two node cluster using ipmilan agente for fencing. The node providing a resource was turned off through ipmi (chassis power off), and when the fenced tries to fence the dead node, selinux deny access. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Shutdown a node providing resources of the cluster
2. Waiting to the resource to be migrated, which includes the phase of killing (fencing) the node. Here the fence is not possible until changing enforcing to permissive

  
Actual results:
Dead node is not fenced.

Expected results:
Node must be fenced so rgmanager can failover the resource.
