Description Wolfgang Rupprecht 2010-05-26 10:41:09 UTC 
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/perl "dac_override" access .

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by smokeping. It is not expected that this
access is required by smokeping 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2010-05-26 11:50:35 UTC 
Dan
it happens when smokeping tries to access to /etc/shadow, which we do not audit.
Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-26 20:08:19 UTC 
Ok I will add

dontaudit smokeping_t self:capability { dac_read_search dac_override };    

Still have no idea why smokeping is trying to read shadow.

smokeping config file

one change from the default that may be significant is the path to the root of the http/www tree.  It is not in the stock place but /vol/www/www.wsrcc.com/smokeping .  Perhaps this directory needs to be blessed in some way via the selinux policy files?

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2010-06-01 13:22:43 UTC 
You should probably have some labeling set on this.

I would recommend you add the following

# semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t '/vol(/.*)?'
# restorecon -R -v /vol
