Description Michal Nowak 2011-04-29 06:31:32 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/openvpn from 'read' accesses on the file /home/newman/.rh_ca_cert/newca.crt.

*****  Plugin openvpn (47.5 confidence) suggests  ****************************

If you want to mv newca.crt to standard location so that openvpn can have read access
Then you must move the cert file to the ~/.cert directory
Do
# mv /home/newman/.rh_ca_cert/newca.crt ~/.cert
# restorecon -R -v ~/.cert


*****  Plugin openvpn (47.5 confidence) suggests  ****************************

If you want to modify the label on newca.crt so that openvpn can have read access on it
Then you must fix the labels.
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t home_cert_t /home/newman/.rh_ca_cert/newca.crt
# restorecon -R -v /home/newman/.rh_ca_cert/newca.crt


*****  Plugin catchall (6.38 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that openvpn should be allowed read access on the newca.crt file 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 openvpn /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Michal, the Plugin tells you what to do. Why do you think this is a bug?
