RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Matěj Cepl 2017-04-24 17:13:10 UTC 
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python2.7 from 'execute' accesses on the file /usr/bin/hostname.

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

If you believe that python2.7 should be allowed execute access on the hostname 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:
# ausearch -c 'rhsmcertd-worke' --raw | audit2allow -M my-rhsmcertdworke
# semodule -i my-rhsmcertdworke.pp

Comment 5 Kevin Howell 2017-05-05 20:43:05 UTC 
Unfortunately, this causes inconsistencies in the facts reported by subscription-manager and its daemon (rhsmcertd). The easiest solution to bug 1447722 without regressing on bug 1401394 is to get this bug resolved, though we are open to suggestions for alternative solutions.
Comment 6 Milos Malik 2017-05-09 15:55:09 UTC 
I believe this bug is a duplicate of BZ#1445494.
Comment 7 Kevin Howell 2017-06-28 17:42:57 UTC 
This was resolved by a different implementation in bug 1445494, so closing as NOTABUG, since the new implementation does not have this problem.
