SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python from 'read' accesses on the lnk_file /var/www/html. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that python should be allowed read access on the html lnk_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 fail2ban-client /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:fail2ban_client_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 Target Objects /var/www/html [ lnk_file ] Source fail2ban-client Source Path /usr/bin/python Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages python-2.7.1-7.fc15 Target RPM Packages httpd-2.2.19-2.fc15 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.16-35.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.40.3-0.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 16 04:10:59 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 5 First Seen Tue 26 Jul 2011 06:35:25 AM EDT Last Seen Tue 30 Aug 2011 07:11:47 AM EDT Local ID b463cc62-c80d-410a-8e36-f5492f3f38ed Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1314702707.881:51): avc: denied { read } for pid=2195 comm="fail2ban-client" name="html" dev=dm-2 ino=10356107 scontext=system_u:system_r:fail2ban_client_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 tclass=lnk_file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1314702707.881:51): arch=x86_64 syscall=lstat success=no exit=ENOENT a0=1104650 a1=7fffb8701dd0 a2=7fffb8701dd0 a3=6d74682f items=0 ppid=2188 pid=2195 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(removed) ses=4294967295 comm=fail2ban-client exe=/usr/bin/python subj=system_u:system_r:fail2ban_client_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: fail2ban-client,fail2ban_client_t,httpd_sys_content_t,lnk_file,read audit2allow #============= fail2ban_client_t ============== allow fail2ban_client_t httpd_sys_content_t:lnk_file read; audit2allow -R #============= fail2ban_client_t ============== allow fail2ban_client_t httpd_sys_content_t:lnk_file read;
This looks like you did local customization /var/www/html is not a link on a normal system.
