Description of problem:

/usr/bin/ncftool (from netcf package) fails to run if selinux is set to enforce.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

selinux-policy-3.7.19-15.el6
netcf

How reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:

With selinux in enforcing mode, su to root and attempt to execute "ncftool"

  
Actual results:

root@vlap13 /home/laine>ncftool
Failed to initialize netcf
error: File operation failed
error: Stylesheet /usr/share/netcf/xml/initscripts-get.xsl does not exist or is not readable


Expected results:

if operating normally, you would get a prompt:

   ncftool>

Additional info:

Here's the full message from the selinux alert tool. Note that several files are denied, but I didn't want to clutter up the report with all of them.


Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/ncftool "read" access on
/usr/share/netcf/xml/interface.rng.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by ncftool. It is not expected that this access
is required by ncftool 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.
