Description of problem: Summary SELinux is preventing nscd (nscd_t) "execute_no_trans" to /usr/sbin/nscd (nscd_exec_t). Detailed Description SELinux denied access requested by nscd. It is not expected that this access is required by nscd and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access. Allowing Access Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for /usr/sbin/nscd, restorecon -v /usr/sbin/nscd If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.

nscd is part of glibc-2.6.90-17.src.rpm rpm -qif /usr/sbin/nscd Will show you the source package an executable is built from. So I guess nscd is execing itself, So I will add to policy to allow this to happen selinux-policy-3.0.8-21
In paranoia mode nscd re-execs itself after a while. So this transition must be allowed.
