SELinux is preventing mysqld_safe from using the 'signull' accesses on a process. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that mysqld_safe should be allowed signull access on processes labeled mysqld_t by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # grep mysqld_safe /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:system_r:mysqld_safe_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:mysqld_t:s0 Target Objects Unknown [ process ] Source mysqld_safe Source Path mysqld_safe Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.7-19.fc14 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 23 16:04:50 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen Sat 01 Jan 2011 01:36:47 AM CST Last Seen Sat 01 Jan 2011 01:36:47 AM CST Local ID 08883090-9a61-4e45-874b-1fea27887bc9 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1293867407.578:27782): avc: denied { signull } for pid=8009 comm="mysqld_safe" scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:mysqld_safe_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:mysqld_t:s0 tclass=process mysqld_safe,mysqld_safe_t,mysqld_t,process,signull #============= mysqld_safe_t ============== allow mysqld_safe_t mysqld_t:process signull;
