Description yunustj 2011-02-03 14:19:59 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/perl from using the 'dac_override' capabilities.

*****  Plugin dac_override (91.4 confidence) suggests  ***********************

If you want to help identify if domain needs this access or you have a file with the wrong permissions on your system
Then turn on full auditing to get path information about the offending file and generate the error again.
Do

Turn on full auditing
# auditctl -w /etc/shadow -p w
Try to recreate AVC. Then execute
# ausearch -m avc -ts recent
If you see PATH record check ownership/permissions on file, and fix it, 
otherweise report as a bugzilla.

*****  Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that perl should have the dac_override capability by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep awstats.pl /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Did you read the alert?  And collect the extra data?  We need to find out which file on your system has bad permissions.
