Description of problem: I kill'd updatedb. Received, "SELinux is preventing updatedb (locate_t) "signal" to <Unknown> (locate_t)." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-3.3.1-42.fc9.noarch selinux-policy-targeted-3.3.1-42.fc9.noarch How reproducible: Once Steps to Reproduce: 1. New install. 2. At first boot, kill makewhatis, updatedb, etc. 3. Note avc denial. Actual results: avc denial Expected results: normal operation Additional info: Summary: SELinux is preventing updatedb (locate_t) "signal" to <Unknown> (locate_t). Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by updatedb. It is not expected that this access is required by updatedb 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: 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.
