Description of problem: I did try to create a WIFI access point with KDE version of NM gui. Did not modify any dhcp related options in the GUI, all I did was to set SSID and security/password. I did try to set firwall policy to home. Another alert came saying that I need setsebool -P nis_enabled 1 SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/dhclient from 'name_bind' accesses on the udp_socket . ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (89.3 confidence) suggests ******************* If you want to allow system to run with NIS Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'nis_enabled' boolean. You can read 'None' man page for more details. Do setsebool -P nis_enabled 1 ***** Plugin catchall (11.6 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that dhclient should be allowed name_bind access on the udp_socket 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 dhclient /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:ephemeral_port_t:s0 Target Objects [ udp_socket ] Source dhclient Source Path /usr/sbin/dhclient Port 46321 Host (removed) Source RPM Packages dhclient-4.2.5-23.fc19.i686 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-74.16.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.12.6-200.fc19.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Dec 23 16:58:40 UTC 2013 i686 i686 Alert Count 3 First Seen 2014-01-07 23:45:14 CET Last Seen 2014-01-07 23:47:07 CET Local ID 704288d5-c76c-44f8-9339-c5f357433657 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1389134827.979:6066): avc: denied { name_bind } for pid=11947 comm="dhclient" src=46321 scontext=system_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:ephemeral_port_t:s0 tclass=udp_socket type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1389134827.979:6066): arch=i386 syscall=socketcall success=no exit=EACCES a0=2 a1=bfa384e0 a2=b7591000 a3=b69a2008 items=0 ppid=1021 pid=11947 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=dhclient exe=/usr/sbin/dhclient subj=system_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: dhclient,dhcpc_t,ephemeral_port_t,udp_socket,name_bind Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.10 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.12.6-200.fc19.i686.PAE type: libreport
Did everything work without turning on this boolean?
unfortunately, it does not work very well at all yet and I did not have the time to fully investigate all aspects. * "internet" is mobile broadband (LTE), the MIFI combination is perhaps less tested * firewall was too restrictive so it may have provoked dhclient to do some unusual workarounds
I have disabled nis_enabled again and everything still seems to work
