SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/pppd from 'write' accesses on the file ppp0.pid. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that pppd should be allowed write access on the ppp0.pid file 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 unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 Target Objects ppp0.pid [ file ] 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-3.9.16-15.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.38.3-18.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Fri Apr 22 13:37:30 UTC 2011 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen Thu 28 Apr 2011 07:33:57 PM CEST Last Seen Thu 28 Apr 2011 07:33:57 PM CEST Local ID a4a906e2-f415-4625-9f08-54f9e93a36d7 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1304012037.913:289): avc: denied { write } for pid=2649 comm="pppd" name="ppp0.pid" dev=tmpfs ino=1182759 scontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1304012037.913:289): arch=i386 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=ae1b60 a1=241 a2=1b6 a3=0 items=0 ppid=2458 pid=2649 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,var_run_t,file,write audit2allow #============= pppd_t ============== allow pppd_t var_run_t:file write; audit2allow -R #============= pppd_t ============== allow pppd_t var_run_t:file write;
The pid file is mislabeled. Did you run pppd directly. I mean without using a service script. You need to run restorecon # restorecon -R -v /var/run/ppp* Will fix.
