Description of problem: Logged into the cobbler web interface SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd from 'write' accesses on the directory webui_sessions. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that httpd should be allowed write access on the webui_sessions directory 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 /usr/sbin/httpd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:cobbler_var_lib_t:s0 Target Objects webui_sessions [ dir ] Source /usr/sbin/httpd Source Path /usr/sbin/httpd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages httpd-2.4.4-2.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-87.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.8.6-203.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Apr 9 19:33:01 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 1 First Seen 2013-04-14 16:26:01 CEST Last Seen 2013-04-14 16:26:01 CEST Local ID 90e85d54-595a-4b75-9868-9f7c52d67c70 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1365949561.238:479): avc: denied { write } for pid=10539 comm="/usr/sbin/httpd" name="webui_sessions" dev="dm-1" ino=666743 scontext=system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:cobbler_var_lib_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1365949561.238:479): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7ff813cc1ad0 a1=41 a2=1ff a3=6333333837613037 items=0 ppid=10536 pid=10539 auid=4294967295 uid=48 gid=48 euid=48 suid=48 fsuid=48 egid=48 sgid=48 fsgid=48 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=/usr/sbin/httpd exe=/usr/sbin/httpd subj=system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: /usr/sbin/httpd,httpd_t,cobbler_var_lib_t,dir,write audit2allow #============= httpd_t ============== allow httpd_t cobbler_var_lib_t:dir write; audit2allow -R require { type httpd_t; } #============= httpd_t ============== cobbler_manage_lib_files(httpd_t) Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.8.6-203.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
