Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/collectd from create access on the netlink_tcpdiag_socket . ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that collectd should be allowed create access on the netlink_tcpdiag_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 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 [ netlink_tcpdiag_socket ] Source collectd Source Path /usr/sbin/collectd Port <Unknown> Host clio Source RPM Packages collectd-5.2.0-1.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-81.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name clio Platform Linux clio 3.7.9-205.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Feb 24 20:10:02 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 14 First Seen 2013-03-02 18:48:18 CET Last Seen 2013-03-02 17:33:59 CET Local ID 80b735af-d38d-4440-a8dd-6cfc5abcb5c7 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1362242039.719:1950): avc: denied { create } for pid=7162 comm="collectd" scontext=system_u:system_r:collectd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:collectd_t:s0 tclass=netlink_tcpdiag_socket type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1362242039.719:1950): arch=x86_64 syscall=socket success=no exit=EACCES a0=10 a1=3 a2=4 a3=7fa97e7f9ad0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=7162 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,netlink_tcpdiag_socket,create audit2allow #============= collectd_t ============== allow collectd_t self:netlink_tcpdiag_socket create; audit2allow -R #============= collectd_t ============== allow collectd_t self:netlink_tcpdiag_socket create; How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.
