cgred uses syslog by default. I could add a new type for a log file and rules but there would need to be a default location for the log file. So since this is a local customization, you need to add a local policy module using # grep cgred_t /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp There is a default location for the log file: it is written in /etc/sysconfig/cgred.conf. I guess I was not clear: I have not made a real customization, I have just uncommented the line. I think that for consistency, this log file must be allowed. Miroslav I think we should add a type for the log file. Alphonse what is the name of the log file created.

I think that for consistency, this log file must be > allowed. Then also my fault. I have checked the bad config file. The default logfile reported in /etc/sysconfig/cgred.conf is "/var/log/cgrulesengd.log" Fixed in selinux-policy-3.9.7-14.fc14 selinux-policy-3.9.7-14.fc14 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 14. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/selinux-policy-3.9.7-14.fc14 selinux-policy-3.9.7-14.fc14 has been pushed to the Fedora 14 testing repository.

Description of problem: SELinux blocks write acces to /var/log/ for cgrulesengd. Here are the audit messages: node=alphstein type=AVC msg=audit(1290419683.646:25322): avc: denied { write } for pid=4517 comm="cgrulesengd" name="log" dev=dm-1 ino=129512 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:cgred_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=dir node=alphstein type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1290419683.646:25322): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=no exit=-13 a0=7fffb276380d a1=441 a2=1b6 a3=0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=4517 auid=500 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=1 comm="cgrulesengd" exe="/sbin/cgrulesengd" subj=unconfined_u:system_r:cgred_t:s0 key=(null) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit /etc/sysconfig/cgred.conf to specify a custom logfile 2. Start cgconfig and cgred service (see bug #655720) 3. Each command '/etc/init.d/cgred restart' will give an SELinux alert.
