Description of problem:

Hello,

On a F9 system + all online updates (upgraded from F8), dynamic routing daemons
(zebra and ripd are used) becomes inactive a short time after startup. If one
restarts them manually, they keep working OK for and indefinite period of time.

The error message I get seems to be SELinux-related:


Summary:

SELinux is preventing zebra (zebra_t) "read" to net (proc_net_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by zebra. It is not expected that this access is
required by zebra 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 net,

restorecon -v 'net'

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 FAQ
(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 bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

Problem persists even after a complete filesystem relabeling (touch
/.autorelabel; reboot)



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-3.3.1-64.fc9.noarch


Actual results:
Dynamic routing die after a restart. If daemons (zebra and ripd) are restarted
manually, they keep working OK.

Expected results:
Dynamic routing should start normally and work directly after each reboot, as
configured.
