Description Stijn Hoop 2011-05-28 19:08:18 UTC
SELinux is preventing /bin/systemd-notify from 'search' accesses on the directory /sys.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that systemd-notify should be allowed search access on the sys directory 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 systemd-notify /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

systemd-notify --boot stat() /sys/fs/group/systemd in order to determine whether systemd is running:
