I fogot to mentio that this only happens with selinux in enforcing mode. When selinux is disabled or in permissive state, the file can be written.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2011-09-23 12:55:59 UTC

We have a type slapd_log_t that you can assign to this file and SELinux will allow ldap to write the file.


semanage fcontext -a -t dhcp_log_t /var/log/dhcp-ldap-startup.log
restorecon /var/log/dhcp-ldap-startup.log

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2011-09-23 13:32:30 UTC

If you have a script that creates the file on boot, you would probably need to add a restorecon to it.
