Description Daniel Walsh 2007-07-14 12:11:54 UTC
Description of problem:

This is not that big of a problem on a non SELinux platform, since it is
probably just failing with a EINVAL and you are not checking the return status.
 But on an SELinux platform it ends up generating an avc message

type=AVC msg=audit(1184266654.518:13): avc:  denied  { listen } for  
pid=2119 comm="rpcbind" lport=1023 scontext=system_u:system_r:rpcbind_t:s0 
tcontext=system_u:system_r:rpcbind_t:s0 tclass=udp_socket

Which I really do not want to dontaudit.  Since calling listen on udp ports is
undefined.

Comment 3 Steve Dickson 2009-06-25 13:00:53 UTC
There is real nothing can be done about this from
the rpcbind side... so I'm going to close this
bug as WONTFIX
