:SELinux is preventing /sbin/apcupsd from read, write access on the chr_file ttyUSB0.
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that apcupsd should be allowed read write access on the ttyUSB0 chr_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 apcupsd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2011-12-14 21:55:59 UTC
Should the apcupsd be allowed to talk to /dev/ttyUSB0?

Comment 2 c72578 2011-12-15 09:03:04 UTC
Yes, apcupsd should be allowed to talk to /dev/ttyUSB0 by default.

In many cases a UPS is connected to a computer using a serial cable.
Nowadays serial ports are rather rare and often USB-serial adapters have to be used. In such cases, apcupsd has to cummunicate with the attached UPS via /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyUSB1 etc.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2011-12-15 17:06:49 UTC
Thanks for confirming.

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2011-12-15 17:07:22 UTC
Fixed in Rawhide, Miroslav please backport to RHEL6, F15, F16.
