Description of problem: SELinux prevents "ping ... > foo". The file foo is created, but no lines are written. An AVC is generated: kernel: audit(1144078487.621:723): avc: denied { ioctl } for pid=22278 comm="ping" name="foo" dev=dm-0 ino=65693 scontext=user_u:system_r:ping_t:s0-s0:c0.c255 tcontext=user_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 tclass=file Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-targeted-2.2.25-3.fc5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ping www.redhat.com > foo 2. Wait a few secs. 3. Actual results: Described above. Expected results: Results of ping written to file Additional info: ping output to console works fine. Redirect is blocked for root as well as normal users. "ping | cat > foo" is a workaround.
Unconfined should not be transitioning to ping_t so this has been removed from selinux-policy-targeted-2.2.29-3.fc5
Closing as these have been marked as modified, for a while. Feel free to reopen if not fixed
