Description of problem:

This problems occurs on i386 architecture only. Tool nslcd from nss-pam-ldapd tries to access /sys/devices/system/cpu/online which has secontext system_u:object_r:sysfs_t:s0 and the access is forbidden.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

selinux-policy-3.7.19-212.el6.noarch

How reproducible:

100% (on i386 only)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start nslcd (service nslcd start)
2. See /v/r/a/audit.log

Actual results:

But nslcd is started successfully (and works fine).

Expected results:

No AVC.

Additional info:

Audit2allow says: allow nslcd_t sysfs_t:dir search;

I am not sure if nslcd does not access aforementioned file on other architectures or if selinux-policy somehow handles it there.
