Description Jan Hutař 2012-07-16 14:33:57 UTC

Description of problem:
There is an incorrect SELinux context on file /etc/nsswitch.conf which, strangely, prevents PostgreSQL database to start listening on localhost:5432.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-5.8 updated to latest
glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.4


How reproducible:
4 of 4 cases


Steps to Reproduce:
1. provision RHEL5.8 and apply available updates
2. # ls -Z /etc/nsswitch.conf


Actual results:
root:object_r:rpm_script_tmp_t


Expected results:
system_u:object_r:etc_t

Comment 3 Jeff Law 2012-07-16 15:30:49 UTC

Please check the selinux context on /etc.  This kind of problem showed up somewhere else recently and an incorrect context on /etc was the root cause.
