Description Wouter De Borger 2011-08-01 07:47:07 UTC
ifup and ifdown are hanging

SELinux is preventing /bin/systemctl from using the 'signal' accesses on a process.

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

If you believe that systemctl should be allowed signal access on processes labeled systemd_passwd_agent_t 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 systemctl /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-08-01 13:15:54 UTC
What does

# ls -Z /bin/systemctl

# matchpathcon /bin/systemctl

Comment 2 Wouter De Borger 2011-08-01 13:35:10 UTC
$ ls -Z /bin/systemctl
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:systemd_systemctl_exec_t:s0 /bin/systemctl
$ matchpathcon /bin/systemctl
/bin/systemctl	system_u:object_r:systemd_systemctl_exec_t:s0

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2011-08-02 19:05:40 UTC
