Description of problem: running smartctl from snmpd SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/smartctl from using the 'sys_rawio' capabilities. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that smartctl should have the sys_rawio 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 smartctl /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:snmpd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:system_r:snmpd_t:s0 Target Objects [ capability ] Source smartctl Source Path /usr/sbin/smartctl Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages smartmontools-6.1-1.fc18.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.11.1-97.fc18.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri May 24 20:10:49 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 7 First Seen 2013-06-18 00:52:10 BST Last Seen 2013-06-18 01:20:16 BST Local ID 28bd500d-b413-491f-aaeb-d602028911dd Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1371514816.588:18599): avc: denied { sys_rawio } for pid=5339 comm="smartctl" capability=17 scontext=system_u:system_r:snmpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:snmpd_t:s0 tclass=capability type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1371514816.588:18599): arch=x86_64 syscall=ioctl success=yes exit=0 a0=3 a1=31f a2=7fffc3ae1d70 a3=1 items=0 ppid=5337 pid=5339 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=smartctl exe=/usr/sbin/smartctl subj=system_u:system_r:snmpd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: smartctl,snmpd_t,snmpd_t,capability,sys_rawio audit2allow #============= snmpd_t ============== allow snmpd_t self:capability sys_rawio; audit2allow -R require { type snmpd_t; class capability sys_rawio; } #============= snmpd_t ============== allow snmpd_t self:capability sys_rawio; Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.4 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64 type: libreport
