Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python2.7 from 'write' accesses on the sock_file /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that python2.7 should be allowed write access on the mysql.sock sock_file 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 nova-consoleaut /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:nova_console_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:mysqld_var_run_t:s0 Target Objects /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock [ sock_file ] Source nova-consoleaut Source Path /usr/bin/python2.7 Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages python-2.7.3-13.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-90.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.8.7-201.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Apr 12 19:46:19 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 16 First Seen 2013-04-15 18:14:52 CEST Last Seen 2013-04-16 08:38:44 CEST Local ID 1eefaea9-eaad-4d97-a5ef-b5b351c916cf Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1366094324.967:461): avc: denied { write } for pid=1114 comm="nova-consoleaut" name="mysql.sock" dev="sda5" ino=525257 scontext=system_u:system_r:nova_console_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:mysqld_var_run_t:s0 tclass=sock_file type=AVC msg=audit(1366094324.967:461): avc: denied { connectto } for pid=1114 comm="nova-consoleaut" path="/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock" scontext=system_u:system_r:nova_console_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:mysqld_t:s0 tclass=unix_stream_socket type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1366094324.967:461): arch=x86_64 syscall=connect success=yes exit=0 a0=5 a1=7fffa2ee72f0 a2=6e a3=4000 items=0 ppid=1 pid=1114 auid=4294967295 uid=162 gid=162 euid=162 suid=162 fsuid=162 egid=162 sgid=162 fsgid=162 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=nova-consoleaut exe=/usr/bin/python2.7 subj=system_u:system_r:nova_console_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: nova-consoleaut,nova_console_t,mysqld_var_run_t,sock_file,write audit2allow #============= nova_console_t ============== allow nova_console_t mysqld_t:unix_stream_socket connectto; allow nova_console_t mysqld_var_run_t:sock_file write; audit2allow -R require { type nova_console_t; } #============= nova_console_t ============== mysql_stream_connect(nova_console_t) Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.8.7-201.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
