Description Hicham HAOUARI 2011-05-10 10:49:07 UTC
SELinux is preventing /sbin/setfiles from 'mac_admin' accesses on the capability2 Unknown.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that setfiles 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 restorecon /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-05-10 11:53:18 UTC
Did you execute the 'chcon' command?  

This means you tried to set a context via
chcon that the kernel/policy does not know about.

For example:

chcon -t abc_exec_t /bin/ps
