SELinux is preventing /bin/mkdir from 'mac_admin' accesses on the capability2 Unknown. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that mkdir should be allowed mac_admin access on the Unknown capability2 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 mkdir /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 Target Objects Unknown [ capability2 ] Source mkdir Source Path /bin/mkdir Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages coreutils-8.10-2.fc15 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.16-6.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.38.2-8.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 28 02:14:51 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen Tue 29 Mar 2011 09:11:18 EST Last Seen Tue 29 Mar 2011 09:11:18 EST Local ID 40eb772b-130d-458b-b127-f62c5c8c733d Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1301353878.116:11): avc: denied { mac_admin } for pid=789 comm="mkdir" capability=33 scontext=system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 tclass=capability2 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1301353878.116:11): arch=x86_64 syscall=write success=no exit=EINVAL a0=3 a1=a11050 a2=22 a3=7fffa0a46dc0 items=0 ppid=736 pid=789 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=mkdir exe=/bin/mkdir subj=system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: mkdir,initrc_t,initrc_t,capability2,mac_admin audit2allow #============= initrc_t ============== allow initrc_t self:capability2 mac_admin; audit2allow -R #============= initrc_t ============== allow initrc_t self:capability2 mac_admin;

Not sure if it's relevant, but this occurred during yum update. Noticed the following message: Cleanup : mdadm-3.1.3-0.git20100804.2.fc15.x86_64 133/182 Non-fatal POSTUN scriptlet failure in rpm package mdadm Cleanup : nc-1.84-25.fc15.x86_64 134/182 warning: %postun(mdadm-3.1.3-0.git20100804.2.fc15.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
Ok, I have just updated and I am getting the same.
