Description Alexander Murashkin 2012-04-01 07:56:45 UTC
Description of problem:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python from getattr access on the filesystem /.

Note that I installed SpaceWalk recently. I have not done any customization.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

osa-dispatcher-5.10.34-1.fc16.noarch
osa-dispatcher-selinux-5.10.34-1.fc16.noarch

Additional info:

# sealert -l bef4a1f0-337f-44ce-b38f-d704085d04a3
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python from getattr access on the filesystem /.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that python should be allowed getattr access on the  filesystem 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 osa-dispatcher /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Jan Pazdziora (Red Hat) 2012-04-05 14:40:52 UTC
On normal Fedora 16, the root directory has type root_t, not fs_t:

  # ls -ldZ /
  dr-xr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:root_t:s0      /

I suggest you

  # touch /.autorelabel 
  # reboot

to get your filesystem properly relabelled.

Or in general, please investigate why your root has this unexpected label.
