SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/updatedb from 'read' accesses on the fichier updatedb.conf. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that updatedb should be allowed read access on the updatedb.conf 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 updatedb /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:locate_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:initrc_tmp_t:s0 Target Objects updatedb.conf [ file ] Source updatedb Source Path /usr/bin/updatedb Port <Inconnu> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages mlocate-0.24-1.fc15 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.16-51.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.42.7-1.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Feb 21 01:22:05 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen mer. 07 mars 2012 03:18:16 CET Last Seen mer. 07 mars 2012 03:18:16 CET Local ID ee227871-c69d-4135-ab84-f627cf7c3cd9 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1331086696.255:235): avc: denied { read } for pid=19906 comm="updatedb" name="updatedb.conf" dev=sda1 ino=1835180 scontext=system_u:system_r:locate_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:initrc_tmp_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1331086696.255:235): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=407643 a1=0 a2=1b6 a3=9 items=0 ppid=19900 pid=19906 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=17 comm=updatedb exe=/usr/bin/updatedb subj=system_u:system_r:locate_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: updatedb,locate_t,initrc_tmp_t,file,read audit2allow #============= locate_t ============== allow locate_t initrc_tmp_t:file read; audit2allow -R #============= locate_t ============== allow locate_t initrc_tmp_t:file read;
You will need to run $ restorecon -R -v /etc/updatedb.con to fix labeling. Not sure how it got this label. initrc_tmp_t is for tmp files which are created by initrc_t domain type. This domain type is for unconfined services by default. Did you setup this label?
Hi, label fixing seems to be ok. I never had to setup this type of label before ?! Thx for your help.
