Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/collectd from using the net_raw capability. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that collectd should have the net_raw capability 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 collectd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:collectd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:collectd_t:s0 Target Objects [ capability ] Source collectd Source Path /usr/sbin/collectd Port <Unknown> Host clio Source RPM Packages collectd-4.10.8-2.fc17.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.10.0-167.fc17.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name clio Platform Linux clio 3.7.9-101.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Feb 18 22:04:06 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-02-26 16:09:13 CET Last Seen 2013-02-26 16:09:13 CET Local ID 798183c6-8bab-4090-9b83-bf0291d757f9 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1361891353.175:11764): avc: denied { net_raw } for pid=18000 comm="collectd" capability=13 scontext=system_u:system_r:collectd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:collectd_t:s0 tclass=capability type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1361891353.175:11764): arch=x86_64 syscall=socket success=no exit=EPERM a0=11 a1=2 a2=300 a3=7f9ced8cf910 items=0 ppid=1 pid=18000 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=collectd exe=/usr/sbin/collectd subj=system_u:system_r:collectd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: collectd,collectd_t,collectd_t,capability,net_raw audit2allow #============= collectd_t ============== allow collectd_t self:capability net_raw; audit2allow -R #============= collectd_t ============== allow collectd_t self:capability net_raw; How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Does collectd modify the network settings?
