SELinux is preventing auditd from 'sendto' accesses on the unix_dgram_socket /dev/log. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that auditd should be allowed sendto access on the log unix_dgram_socket 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 auditd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:auditd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 Target Objects /dev/log [ unix_dgram_socket ] Source auditd Source Path auditd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.14-2.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.38-0.rc4.git7.1.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Mon Feb 14 01:26:37 UTC 2011 i686 i686 Alert Count 5 First Seen Thu 17 Feb 2011 10:25:28 AM PST Last Seen Thu 17 Feb 2011 07:16:08 PM PST Local ID 7d7e4f97-1048-419e-89ac-7573ed157e25 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1297998968.190:437): avc: denied { sendto } for pid=897 comm="auditd" path="/dev/log" scontext=system_u:system_r:auditd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 tclass=unix_dgram_socket Hash: auditd,auditd_t,initrc_t,unix_dgram_socket,sendto audit2allow #============= auditd_t ============== allow auditd_t initrc_t:unix_dgram_socket sendto; audit2allow -R #============= auditd_t ============== allow auditd_t initrc_t:unix_dgram_socket sendto;
Looks like syslog is running as initrc_t domain. What is your output of # ps -eZ | grep syslog # ls -lZ /sbin/rsyslogd # matchpathcon /sbin/rsyslogd
# ps -eZ | grep syslog system_u:system_r:syslogd_t:s0 855 ? 00:00:22 rsyslogd # ls -lZ /sbin/rsyslogd -rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:syslogd_exec_t:s0 /sbin/rsyslogd # matchpathcon /sbin/rsyslogd /sbin/rsyslogd system_u:object_r:syslogd_exec_t:s0
ps -eZ | grep initrc_t It looks like something at sometime was running as initrc_t and listening on /dev/log.
