Comment 1 Tom Coughlan 2009-07-23 14:25:35 UTC

The selinux dontaudit change that was done in 5.4 was a temporary workaround. This BZ is for the proper fix in dmraid. This will require some further investigation, since the root cause was never uncovered.

Comment 5 Alasdair Kergon 2009-07-23 21:12:54 UTC

Anyone see any problems if we moved the file to /var/cache/logwatch/dmeventd/syslogpattern.txt ?

Comment 6 Heinz Mauelshagen 2009-08-03 11:38:52 UTC

For the time being, we don't activate monitoring in initrd so it should work.
Once we decide to change this, /var ain't mounted yet and we'll get a problem.

Comment 7 Heinz Mauelshagen 2009-11-25 12:25:13 UTC

Change as of comment #5 added to repository.

dmeventd_syslogpattern.txt is the file that has beeing created in 
/etc/logwatch/scripts/services and caused SELinux denials. This file is in the new version 60.el5 being created in /var/cache/logwatch/dmeventd/

$ rpm -q dmraid-events-logwatch
dmraid-events-logwatch-1.0.0.rc13-60.el5

$ diff /tmp/dmeventd.33.el5 /etc/logwatch/scripts/services/dmeventd
40c40
<         "/etc/logwatch/scripts/services/dmeventd_syslogpattern.txt";
