Description Stephen Haffly 2010-05-07 12:38:21 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/pgrep "search" access on 1787.

Detailed Description:

[pgrep has a permissive type (ksmtuned_t). This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by pgrep. It is not expected that this access is
required by pgrep 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-07 12:52:58 UTC
This looks like you have an unlabeled process running on your machine.  The usually means that a process was running with a label that the kernel no longer understands.  It should not happen. It could happen because of a package installing an selinux policy and then removing it. If you see unlabeled_t processes running on your system kill them and restart them.

ps -eZ | grep unlabeled_t

if this happens again reopen the bug.
