Description Chris Feist 2011-07-25 22:07:04 UTC
Description of problem:
When using postgres-8 SELinux avc denials occur.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
resource-agents-3.9.2-2.el6

How reproducible:
All the time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a cluster with postgres-8
2. Start cluster
3. Fail
  
AVC Error is here:
type=AVC msg=audit(1311631300.325:62): avc:  denied  { search } for  pid=4256 comm="postmaster" name="postgres-8" dev=dm-0 ino=392450 scontext=system_u:system_r:postgresql_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:default_t:s0 tclass=dir

I believe the issue is caused by postmaster (running as postgres user) attempting to write a pid file in /var/run/cluster/postgres-8

It creates the pid file, but nothing is written in it.

Does

# restorecon -R -v /var/run/cluster

solve the issue?
