May 15 04:02:03 mandio snmpd: snmpd startup succeeded May 15 04:02:03 mandio kernel: audit(1116122523.697:0): avc: denied { unlink } for pid=15117 exe=/usr/sbin/snmpd name=snmpd dev=dm-1 ino=910364 scontext=system_u:system_r:snmpd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_run_t tclass=file May 15 04:02:03 mandio snmpd[15117]: /var/run/snmpd: File exists The file "/var/run/snmpd" exists and have to be deleted by hand, before snmpd will start. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): net-snmp-5.1.2-11 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Wait for logrotate to rotate the snmpd.log Actual Results: The daemon snmpd is not restarted, and the file var/run/snmpd has to be deleted by hand. Expected Results: The daemon snmpd should restart after logrotate Additional info: Im running RHEL4 SELinux in enforcing mode. On IBM x345 2 x 3.2 GHz and 2 GB RAM
Strange, this seems to be clearly working for me. # getenforce Enforcing # service snmpd status snmpd (pid 22526) is running... # logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/snmpd # service snmpd status snmpd (pid 22766) is running... Can you also provide the logrotate version? Also try restoring SELinux context in /var/log with # restorecon -R /var/log
