Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): autofs-5.0.2-18.src.rpm How reproducible: check audit.log on autofs startup. Summary log: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/automount (automount_t) "create" to (var_run_t). Raw log: avc: denied { create } for comm=automount egid=0 euid=0 exe=/usr/sbin/automount exit=-13 fsgid=0 fsuid=0 gid=0 items=0 name=autofs.fifo-net pid=10382 scontext=system_u:system_r:automount_t:s0 sgid=0 subj=system_u:system_r:automount_t:s0 suid=0 tclass=fifo_file tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 tty=(none) uid=0 Probably need to update the selinux permissions to allow creation of a fifo wherever automounter is trying to create one.
The failure to create the fifos just means that changing debug logging level, on the fly, from the command line won't be available so autofs should continue to function normally. This update is also waiting in F8 testing. Ian
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.0.8-58.fc8 And Fixed in selinux-policy-3.1.2-1.fc9
Bulk closing a old selinux policy bugs that were in the modified state. If the bug is still not fixed. Please reopen.
