rsyslog-5.8.6 is being used by the OpenShift team. We're upgrading beyond what is provided by RHEL 6 for reasons stated above. However, I'd like to get this one line rule added to the base selinux-policy because it fixes our use case, and appears to be a low-risk addition to the policy. ----

Description of problem: In order to fix issues around using TLS, I needed to upgrade my RHEL6.1 upgrade rsyslog from the version that RHEL6 ships (4.6.2) to version 5.8.6. However, there's one permission missing that prevents rsyslog v5 from running with the current selinux policy. Here's the policy module I'm currently using that corrects the problem: module rsyslog5 1.0; require { type syslogd_t; class process { setsched }; } #============= syslogd_t ============== allow syslogd_t self:process setsched;
