Description of problem: logrotate was prevented from rotating audit.log by a type or permissions problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fc21-Live-MATE fully updates 0300EST 2014-12-13 How reproducible: Until next Sunday, can't tell Steps to Reproduce: 1. This is the first run of logrotate on a totally stock install 2. 3. Actual results: Log did not rotate Expected results: Log rotation Additional info: This is a reference install with zero custom or 3rd party software. I use it to determine if local changes have in any way caused a problem. I will preserve a copy of the raw audit log for one week Problem report started: SELinux is preventing logrotate from read access on the directory /var/cache/dnf. ***** Plugin restorecon (94.8 confidence) suggests ************************ If you want to fix the label. /var/cache/dnf default label should be rpm_var_cache_t. Then you can run restorecon. Do # /sbin/restorecon -v /var/cache/dnf However, later it gave this advice: If you believe that logrotate should be allowed read access on the dnf directory 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 logrotate /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:logrotate_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:var_t:s0 Target Objects /var/cache/dnf [ dir ] Source logrotate Source Path logrotate Port <Unknown> Host FC21-MATE-x86_64.tmr.com Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.13.1-99.fc21.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name FC21-MATE-x86_64.tmr.com Platform Linux FC21-MATE-x86_64.tmr.com 3.17.6-300.fc21.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Dec 8 22:29:32 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2014-12-14 03:38:02 EST Last Seen 2014-12-14 03:38:02 EST Local ID 16d34d85-b757-4a7b-85c2-2b8923c6ea3e Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1418546282.263:562): avc: denied { read } for pid=5038 comm="logrotate" name="dnf" dev="dm-0" ino=287063 scontext=system_u:system_r:logrotate_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:var_t:s0 tclass=dir permissive=0 Hash: logrotate,logrotate_t,var_t,dir,read
