Description of problem: SELinux prevents openvpn to set its process priority when the nice parameter is used. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-54.el6_0.5 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. add 'nice -7' to the openvpn server config 2. start openvpn 3. Actual results: WARNING: nice -7 failed: Operation not permitted Expected results: nice -7 succeeded Additional info: allow2audit tells me the following is required (and in fact makes things work): ---------------- module invocaopenvpn 1.0; require { type openvpn_t; class capability sys_nice; class process setsched; } #============= openvpn_t ============== allow openvpn_t self:capability sys_nice; allow openvpn_t self:process setsched; ---------------- Thanks, Simon
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.7.19-107.el6
