pnp4nagios not working after steps from README.fedora have been done: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/perl from 'write' accesses on the directory /var/lib/pnp4nagios. ***** Plugin catchall_labels (83.8 confidence) suggests ******************** If you want to allow perl to have write access on the pnp4nagios directory Then you need to change the label on /var/lib/pnp4nagios Do # semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/var/lib/pnp4nagios' where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: tmp_t, nagios_log_t, nagios_tmp_t, var_spool_t, var_run_t, var_log_t, nagios_var_run_t, nagios_spool_t, root_t. Then execute: restorecon -v '/var/lib/pnp4nagios' ***** Plugin catchall (17.1 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that perl should be allowed write access on the pnp4nagios 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 perl /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:nagios_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0 Target Objects /var/lib/pnp4nagios [ dir ] Source perl Source Path /usr/bin/perl Port <Unbekannt> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages perl-5.12.4-159.fc15 Target RPM Packages pnp4nagios-0.4.14-5.fc15 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.16-35.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.38.8-35.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Wed Jul 6 14:46:26 UTC 2011 i686 i686 Alert Count 16 First Seen Fr 05 Aug 2011 17:19:52 CEST Last Seen Fr 05 Aug 2011 17:31:02 CEST Local ID 274ff186-ce55-42ee-8b68-aa938d556775 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1312558262.127:194): avc: denied { write } for pid=26137 comm="perl" name="pnp4nagios" dev=dm-1 ino=1319368 scontext=system_u:system_r:nagios_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1312558262.127:194): arch=i386 syscall=mkdir success=no exit=EACCES a0=9795170 a1=1ff a2=415cf488 a3=960b008 items=0 ppid=26136 pid=26137 auid=4294967295 uid=493 gid=489 euid=493 suid=493 fsuid=493 egid=489 sgid=489 fsgid=489 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=perl exe=/usr/bin/perl subj=system_u:system_r:nagios_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: perl,nagios_t,var_lib_t,dir,write audit2allow #============= nagios_t ============== #!!!!

I update F16 nagios policy to allow this.
