Description of problem: just start SELinux is preventing ovs-vswitchd from using the 'net_broadcast' capabilities. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that ovs-vswitchd should have the net_broadcast capability 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 'ovs-vswitchd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-ovsvswitchd # semodule -X 300 -i my-ovsvswitchd.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:openvswitch_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:openvswitch_t:s0 Target Objects Unknown [ capability ] Source ovs-vswitchd Source Path ovs-vswitchd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.14.3-46.fc30.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 5.3.1-matteo #87 SMP Mon Sep 30 14:20:06 CEST 2019 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 6 First Seen 2019-10-04 18:16:31 CEST Last Seen 2019-10-04 18:26:27 CEST Local ID 176fbdfb-e641-4ff5-b031-f649d86d4610 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1570206387.519:822): avc: denied { net_broadcast } for pid=16019 comm="ovs-vswitchd" capability=11 scontext=system_u:system_r:openvswitch_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:openvswitch_t:s0 tclass=capability permissive=0 Hash: ovs-vswitchd,openvswitch_t,openvswitch_t,capability,net_broadcast Version-Release number of selected component: selinux-policy-3.14.3-46.fc30.noarch Additional info: component: selinux-policy reporter: libreport-2.10.1 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 5.3.1-matteo type: libreport
