Description Stefan Joosten 2016-02-18 09:29:53 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing systemctl from using the 'setrlimit' accesses on a process.

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

If you believe that systemctl should be allowed setrlimit access on processes labeled logrotate_t 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 systemctl /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2016-02-18 12:53:04 UTC
Any chance, you  are running low on system resources?

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2016-02-20 11:28:07 UTC
This should be just dontaudited.  I believe anyone calling systemctl will trigger this avc.
