Description TR Bentley 2010-05-15 06:15:30 UTC
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/crond "sigchld" access .

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by crond. It is not expected that this access is
required by crond 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 2010-05-17 14:24:04 UTC
Any idea of why a cron processes is executing shutdown?

Comment 2 TR Bentley 2010-05-17 15:52:13 UTC
I leave my box running during the day but do not want it running all night.
I have a root cron task running at 10.15 to shut the machine down.

Been doing this for years!

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2010-05-17 16:42:04 UTC
Ok I will add this access.
