Description Ian Pilcher 2013-02-04 02:18:34 UTC
Description of problem:
Logwatch cron job?
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/perl from read, open access on the file /usr/sbin/mdadm.

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

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