This prevents targetd plugin from working.

[root@localhost log]# sealert -l 4c68fbd5-ab47-476c-a175-cd6fde302166
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python2.7 from create access on the tcp_socket .

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

If you believe that python2.7 should be allowed create access on the  tcp_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 python /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Could you run this in permissive mode to catch more avcs

semanage permissive -a lsmd_plugin_t

Do you know what is listening at tcp port 18700?

> Do you know what is listening at tcp port 18700?

In this specific case the libStorageMgmt targetd plug-in (/usr/bin/targetd_lsmplugin) is connecting to a remote system which is running the targetd storage daemon.

The port number can be configured by end users, so that may change.

Some background which may help with creating policy.

The daemon lsmd execs the plug-in.  The plug-in needs network access and all that entails to connect to the external storage arrays over the network.  

The current targeted selinux policy allows the plug-in to create a socket if it is executed via the command line, but rejects it when executed via lsmd.

Please note that plug-ins can be written in C or python at this time and will connect to a number of different listening ports, each of which is modifiable by the end user.

Is that the default port

> Is that the default port

For targetd plug-in yes.  

For other plugins, default ports:
libstoragemgmt-ontap-plugin  (80/443)
libstoragemgmt-smis-plugin   (5988/5989)
libstoragemgmt-nstor-plugin  (80/443)
libstoragemgmt-ibm-v7k-plugin (22)

But like I stated, the user can change.

I believe we want to add a boolean for lsmd plugins.
