Description of problem: This seems to happen whenever the openvswitch daemon starts. SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/ovs-vswitchd from 'nlmsg_write' accesses on the netlink_route_socket . ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that ovs-vswitchd should be allowed nlmsg_write access on the netlink_route_socket 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 ovs-vswitchd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:openvswitch_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:openvswitch_t:s0 Target Objects [ netlink_route_socket ] Source ovs-vswitchd Source Path /usr/sbin/ovs-vswitchd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages openvswitch-1.7.1-6.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-66.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Dec 11 18:01:27 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2012-12-29 13:09:09 CST Last Seen 2012-12-29 13:09:09 CST Local ID b219378d-7795-46a1-8326-2cb3301e7240 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1356808149.592:55): avc: denied { nlmsg_write } for pid=2108 comm="ovs-vswitchd" scontext=system_u:system_r:openvswitch_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:openvswitch_t:s0 tclass=netlink_route_socket type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1356808149.592:55): arch=x86_64 syscall=sendmsg success=yes exit=EBADE a0=25 a1=7fff39c43760 a2=0 a3=200 items=0 ppid=2107 pid=2108 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=ovs-vswitchd exe=/usr/sbin/ovs-vswitchd subj=system_u:system_r:openvswitch_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: ovs-vswitchd,openvswitch_t,openvswitch_t,netlink_route_socket,nlmsg_write audit2allow audit2allow -R Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.6.10-4.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
