SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/pppd from 'add_name' accesses on the directory ppp0.pid. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that pppd should be allowed add_name access on the ppp0.pid directory 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 pppd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 Target Objects ppp0.pid [ dir ] Source pppd Source Path /usr/sbin/pppd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages ppp-2.4.5-16.fc15 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.16-6.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.38.2-9.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 30 16:55:57 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen Thu 31 Mar 2011 11:56:32 AM GMT Last Seen Thu 31 Mar 2011 11:56:32 AM GMT Local ID bdd320e7-be56-414e-a543-68236dafb2c3 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1301572592.572:252): avc: denied { add_name } for pid=29468 comm="pppd" name="ppp0.pid" scontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 tclass=dir type=AVC msg=audit(1301572592.572:252): avc: denied { create } for pid=29468 comm="pppd" name="ppp0.pid" scontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1301572592.572:252): avc: denied { write open } for pid=29468 comm="pppd" name="ppp0.pid" dev=tmpfs ino=1061823 scontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1301572592.572:252): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=yes exit=EFAULT a0=7f7b2ba38380 a1=241 a2=1b6 a3=44454550533b3836 items=0 ppid=29466 pid=29468 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=pppd exe=/usr/sbin/pppd subj=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: pppd,pppd_t,tmpfs_t,dir,add_name audit2allow #============= pppd_t ============== allow pppd_t tmpfs_t:dir add_name; #!!!!
