Description Vaclav "sHINOBI" Misek 2010-05-26 11:19:55 UTC 
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/boinc_client "name_connect" access .

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by boinc_client. It is not expected that this
access is required by boinc_client 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 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-26 20:04:38 UTC 
Miroslav, should boinc be allowed to connect to port 8080 by default?
Comment 2 Vaclav "sHINOBI" Misek 2010-05-27 06:14:27 UTC 
BOINC is also optionally using the proxy server and this bug appears when proxy is enabled in the client. I made a notice about this in bug report, but it was sink into the text :-).
Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2010-05-27 09:21:12 UTC 
Dan,
let's allow it by default.
Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-27 14:13:02 UTC 
SELinux is preventing gcm-apply "write" access on /var/run/cups/cups.sock.
