:SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python from 'read' accesses on the None /etc/passwd.
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that python should be allowed read access on the passwd <Unknown> 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 firewalld /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2012-02-06 12:39:32 UTC
Not sure which part of firewalld needs this access but obviously is needed. firewalld does not start.
