Description Michal Nowak 2014-08-03 09:23:39 UTC
Description of problem:
Started ksm and ksmtuned services via systemadm tool.
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/touch from 'write' accesses on the file .

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

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

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2014-08-04 06:40:36 UTC
Any chance you have ever started ksmtuned by hand?

# restorecon -v /var/run/ksmtune.pid

will fix it.

Comment 2 Michal Nowak 2014-08-04 08:25:22 UTC
Indeed I did. Thanks for the fix.
