Description Calvinhac Bruno 2012-03-07 07:47:52 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/updatedb from 'read' accesses on the fichier updatedb.conf.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that updatedb should be allowed read access on the updatedb.conf 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 updatedb /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2012-03-07 12:16:32 UTC
You will need to run 

$ restorecon -R -v /etc/updatedb.con

to fix labeling. Not sure how it got this label.

initrc_tmp_t is for tmp files which are created by initrc_t domain type. This domain type is for unconfined services by default.

Did you setup this label?

Hi,

label fixing seems to be ok.
I never had to setup this type of label before ?!
Thx for your help.
