Audit denied messages of ncsd ("grep nscd /var/log/audit/audit.log|grep -v success")

Description of problem:
When running ypbind and nscd, there is a delay on ssh login on 10 seconds (two times each five seconds) until shell prompt appears. There may be delays on other operations that uses nscd.

I found in journalclt output that there are audit denied messages of nscd related in timestamps to my login time and to delay of login.

It seams that nscd should be allowed to access dbus?

I append audit messages about nscd and a selinux modul that solves the problem for me.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nscd-2.25-7.fc26.x86_64
ypbind-1.38-10.fc26.x86_64
selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-260.3.fc26.noarch
kernel-4.11.11-300.fc26.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure and run ypbind (for example, with authconfig).
  (I don't know if it is neccessary.)
2. Start nscd.
3. ssh login to this host from another host.
   Remember the time until shell prompt appears.
4. Logout ssh session.
5. Temporary set selinux in permissive mode. (setenforce 0).
6. ssh login to this host from another host.
   Remember the time until shell prompt appears.
7. Logout ssh session.

Actual results:
There is a delay of about 10 seconds in step 3, but not in step 6.

Expected results:
There is no delay in step 3 and in step 6.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:36:40 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 12:54:33 UTC
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
