Summary:

SELinux is preventing dhclient (dhcpc_t) "write" to ./dhclient-eth0.pid
(var_run_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux is preventing dhclient (dhcpc_t) "write" to ./dhclient-eth0.pid
(var_run_t). The SELinux type var_run_t, is a generic type for all files in the
directory and very few processes (SELinux Domains) are allowed to write to this
SELinux type. This type of denial usual indicates a mislabeled file. By default
a file created in a directory has the gets the context of the parent directory,
but SELinux policy has rules about the creation of directories, that say if a
process running in one SELinux Domain (D1) creates a file in a directory with a
particular SELinux File Context (F1) the file gets a different File Context
(F2). The policy usually allows the SELinux Domain (D1) the ability to write,
unlink, and append on (F2). But if for some reason a file (./dhclient-eth0.pid)
was created with the wrong context, this domain will be denied. The usual
solution to this problem is to reset the file context on the target file,
restorecon -v './dhclient-eth0.pid'. If the file context does not change from
var_run_t, then this is probably a bug in policy. Please file a bug report
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against the selinux-policy
package. If it does change, you can try your application again to see if it
works. The file context could have been mislabeled by editing the file or moving
the file from a different directory, if the file keeps getting mislabeled, check
the init scripts to see if they are doing something to mislabel the file.

Allowing Access:

You can attempt to fix file context by executing restorecon -v
'./dhclient-eth0.pid'

Fix Command:

restorecon './dhclient-eth0.pid'

When i do what it tells me to do which is this command is gives me this error
aftwords even in root.

"
[root@localhost sbin]# restorecon -v './dhclient-eth0.pid'
restorecon:  stat error on ./dhclient-eth0.pid:  No such file or directory
[root@localhost sbin]#
"

As for a fix i have no idea how to fix this. If you can figure this out for me
give me a reply by email draxima thanks.
