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.
