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

Comment 1 Jerry James 2011-12-22 15:18:44 UTC
I don't know what triggered this.  I had done a "yum upgrade" about 5 minutes prior, but was doing purely local work on my machine when sealert popped up.  I did have Firefox up, so it's possible an ad on some page did something to trigger this, I suppose.
