Description of problem: Please include the following (or equivalent) in the documenation: When using Satellite with SELinux enabled, if /var/satellite/ is changed to an NFS mount after the initial installation, you must run the following command: /usr/sbin/setsebool -P spacewalk_nfs_mountpoint on In addition, on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 you must run: /usr/sbin/setsebool -P cobbler_use_nfs on

I included this as an FAQ: <qandaentry> <question> <para> I changed <filename>/var/satellite</filename> to an NFS mount, and now SELinux is stopping it working properly. What do I need to do? </para> </question> <answer> <para> You will need to tell SELinux about the NFS mount in order for it to allow that traffic. You can do this with the command: </para> <screen> # /usr/sbin/setsebool -P spacewalk_nfs_mountpoint on </screen> <para> If you are using &RHEL; 6, you will also need to run the command: </para> <screen> # /usr/sbin/setsebool -P cobbler_use_nfs on </screen> </answer> </qandaentry> Revision 2-6 LKB
