SELinux is preventing ps from using the sys_admin capability. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests ************************** If you believe that ps should have the sys_admin 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 'ps' --raw | audit2allow -M my-ps # semodule -X 300 -i my-ps.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:pcp_pmie_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:pcp_pmie_t:s0 Target Objects Unknown [ capability ] Source ps Source Path ps Port <Unknown> Host <Unknown> Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages SELinux Policy RPM selinux-policy-targeted-41.38-1.fc42.noarch Local Policy RPM pcp-selinux-6.3.7-2.fc42.x86_64 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name example.com Platform Linux example.com 6.14.3-300.fc42.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun Apr 20 16:08:39 UTC 2025 x86_64 Alert Count 2290 First Seen 2025-04-24 21:58:11 CEST Last Seen 2025-05-18 16:58:19 CEST Local ID 56cbafde-d867-4e56-b24f-5c6e51b6accd Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1747580299.432:13569): avc: denied { sys_admin } for pid=676466 comm="ps" capability=21 scontext=system_u:system_r:pcp_pmie_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:pcp_pmie_t:s0 tclass=capability permissive=0 Hash: ps,pcp_pmie_t,pcp_pmie_t,capability,sys_admin Reproducible: Always
