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
