Description Radek Bíba 2006-11-23 08:35:46 UTC
Description of problem:
When running 'ifup eth0' from shell under mc, AVC denials appear. SELinux
Troubleshhoter points out that ip and hostname are trying to write to
pipe[XXXX], which, as per lsof, belongs to mc.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mc-4.6.1a-30.fc6 (%dist tag needs an update anyway, huh? :) )

How reproducible:
Always, with SELinux in enforcing mode

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mc
2. CRTL+O
3. ifup eth0
  
Actual results:
SELinux is preventing /bin/hostname (hostname_t) "write" to pipe:[104272]
(unconfined_t).
SELinux is preventing /sbin/ip (ifconfig_t) "write" to pipe:[104272] (unconfined_t)

Expected results:
No such attempts -> no such denials/warnings.
