Description of problem: SELinux has denied the NetworkManager from executing ./nscd. If NetworkManager is supposed to be able to execute ./nscd, this could be a labeling problem. Most confined domains are allowed to execute files labeled bin_t. So you could change the labeling on this file to bin_t and retry the application. If this NetworkManager is not supposed to execute ./nscd, this could signal a intrusion attempt. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-3.5.13-48.fc10.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use NetworkManager Actual results: Now and then NM seems to try to do ./nscd and isn't allowed to -> selinux alert. Expected results: No selinux alert.
