Description Šimon Lukašík 2011-05-30 15:45:00 UTC 
Description of problem:
Please include the following (or equivalent) in the documenation:


When using Satellite with SELinux enabled, if /var/satellite/ is
changed to an NFS mount after the initial installation, you must run the following command:

    /usr/sbin/setsebool -P spacewalk_nfs_mountpoint on

In addition, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 you must run:

    /usr/sbin/setsebool -P cobbler_use_nfs on

I included this as an FAQ:

<qandaentry>
	<question>
		<para>
			I changed <filename>/var/satellite</filename> to an NFS mount, and now SELinux is stopping it working properly. What do I need to do?
		</para>
	</question>
	<answer>
		<para>
			You will need to tell SELinux about the NFS mount in order for it to allow that traffic. You can do this with the command:
		</para>
			
<screen>
# /usr/sbin/setsebool -P spacewalk_nfs_mountpoint on
</screen>
		<para>
			If you are using &RHEL; 6, you will also need to run the command:
		</para>
				
<screen>
# /usr/sbin/setsebool -P cobbler_use_nfs on
</screen>
	</answer>
</qandaentry>
