:SELinux is preventing mcelog from 'create' accesses on the file mcelog.pid.
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that mcelog should be allowed create access on the mcelog.pid file 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 mcelog /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Billy Croan 2011-12-09 21:18:33 UTC
Subject really says it all.  Looks like a trivial selinux policy tweak is necessary.

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2011-12-12 11:51:26 UTC
Just update your policy.

# yum update selinux-policy-targeted
