the dhcpd service appears to work, but might be missing some features do to the above when selinux is in enforcing mode (default).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.13.1-249.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install, configure and start dhcpd
2.
3.

Actual results:
daemon starts, AVC denial logged

Expected results:
no AVC denials

The /lib64/libnss_sss.so.2 is mislabeled.

Correct label is:
# matchpathcon /lib64/libnss_sss.so.2
/lib64/libnss_sss.so.2	system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0
#

Following command will repair the problem:
# restorecon -Rv /lib64

Patrick, 

Could you please confirm that solution from comment#2 is working for you? 

Thanks,
Lukas.

Actually, the bug appears to be on the cluster resource agent side -- I'm running this in as a pacemaker cluster resource, sorry for not mentioning that in the description.

The resource agent defaults to running dhcpd in a chroot and copies config files and required libraries (libnss_sss.so.2 among them) into the chroot [1]. The "-p/--preserve" option of `cp` does not appear to preserve selinux context of the copied files (unless it's explicitly requested) and so the AVCs occur.

IIUC, this should be fixed in the resource agent itself and not selinux-policy. Is that correct?

I'd suggest including xattr into the preserved set or use all, see cp(1):

       -p     same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps

       --preserve[=ATTR_LIST]
              preserve the specified attributes (default: mode,ownership,timestamps), if possi‐
              ble additional attributes: context, links, xattr, all

or alternatively use restorecon after the cp command finishes.

Note -a has "all":

       -a, --archive
              same as -dR --preserve=all
