Description John Villalovos 2007-05-27 21:05:36 UTC 
Edit: /etc/setroubleshoot/setroubleshoot.cfg

Restart setroubleshootd

Generate an selinux failure (I did it by making a file in my home directory and
then using mv to move it to ~apache/html/ and then trying to view the file).

I get the following message in /var/log/messages:

Comment 1 John Villalovos 2007-05-27 21:07:34 UTC 
I forgot to add I am running:
# rpm -q setroubleshoot
setroubleshoot-1.8.11-4.el5

patch to correct invalid argument in set_filter()
Comment 3 John Dennis 2007-06-25 21:13:23 UTC 
Because of scheduling issues concerning bug fix updates it may be a while till
you see this bug fix appear in a RHEL update. However, because the fix is so
easy I tell you how to fix it in your installation using a text editor.

Open /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/setroubleshoot/server.py

goto line 145, remove the first parameter (self) from the set_filter() call so
it reads like this:

self.database.set_filter(siginfo.sig, addr, FILTER_ALWAYS)
Comment 4 John Villalovos 2007-06-25 22:18:27 UTC 
Thanks!
Comment 5 John Dennis 2007-06-25 22:26:50 UTC 
reopen, set state to Modified, request 5.2 Update inclusion
Comment 6 Jay Turner 2007-11-30 07:35:40 UTC 
QE ack for RHEL5.2.  Reproducer in comment 0.
Comment 7 John Dennis 2008-01-09 23:39:38 UTC 
Note, reproducer in comment #0 is no longer valid, that configuration option has
been removed. Email address can now be managed directly via the GUI menu item:
