Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/rpcbind from 'read' accesses on the file rpcbind.lock. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that rpcbind should be allowed read access on the rpcbind.lock 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 rpcbind /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:rpcbind_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 Target Objects rpcbind.lock [ file ] Source rpcbind Source Path /usr/sbin/rpcbind Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages rpcbind-0.2.0-19.fc17.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.10.0-169.fc17.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive 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 2 First Seen 2013-05-08 08:49:58 CDT Last Seen 2013-05-08 16:20:20 CDT Local ID 2f905bb1-a295-4d80-a647-a01021f377ce Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1368048020.339:34): avc: denied { read } for pid=1179 comm="rpcbind" name="rpcbind.lock" dev="tmpfs" ino=1355 scontext=system_u:system_r:rpcbind_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1368048020.339:34): avc: denied { open } for pid=1179 comm="rpcbind" path="/run/rpcbind.lock" dev="tmpfs" ino=1355 scontext=system_u:system_r:rpcbind_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1368048020.339:34): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=yes exit=EINTR a0=7f2ca6865efa a1=40 a2=124 a3=7fff9ba45080 items=0 ppid=1 pid=1179 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=rpcbind exe=/usr/sbin/rpcbind subj=system_u:system_r:rpcbind_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: rpcbind,rpcbind_t,var_run_t,file,read audit2allow #============= rpcbind_t ============== allow rpcbind_t var_run_t:file { read open }; audit2allow -R #============= rpcbind_t ============== allow rpcbind_t var_run_t:file { read open }; Additional info: hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.8.11-100.fc17.x86_64 type: libreport
restorecon -R -v /run Should fix this problem. Did you run rpcbind by hand?
