Description of problem: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/ovs-appctl from 'write' accesses on the file ovs-vswitchd.pid. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that ovs-appctl should be allowed write access on the ovs-vswitchd.pid 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 ovs-appctl /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:logrotate_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 Target Context system_u:object_r:openvswitch_var_run_t:s0 Target Objects ovs-vswitchd.pid [ file ] Source ovs-appctl Source Path /usr/bin/ovs-appctl Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages openvswitch-1.10.0-2.fc19.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-59.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.9-301.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jul 4 15:10:36 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2013-07-07 03:11:04 CDT Last Seen 2013-07-07 03:11:04 CDT Local ID a01c115d-7195-4d6a-995b-435fe52aef00 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1373184664.592:186): avc: denied { write } for pid=11044 comm="ovs-appctl" name="ovs-vswitchd.pid" dev="tmpfs" ino=15055 scontext=system_u:system_r:logrotate_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:openvswitch_var_run_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1373184664.592:186): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7fc4a4798080 a1=2 a2=1b6 a3=c items=0 ppid=11041 pid=11044 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=10 tty=(none) comm=ovs-appctl exe=/usr/bin/ovs-appctl subj=system_u:system_r:logrotate_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: ovs-appctl,logrotate_t,openvswitch_var_run_t,file,write Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.5 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.9-301.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport Potential duplicate: bug 902438
This looks to be logwatch/logrotate-related.
It's logrotate: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate: 2013-07-07T08:11:04Z|00001|daemon|WARN|/var/run/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.pid: open: Permission denied ovs-appctl: cannot read pidfile "/var/run/openvswitch/ovsdb-server.pid" (Permission denied) 2013-07-07T08:11:04Z|00001|daemon|WARN|/var/run/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.pid: open: Permission denied ovs-appctl: cannot read pidfile "/var/run/openvswitch/ovs-vswitchd.pid" (Permission denied) error: error running shared postrotate script for '/var/log/openvswitch/*.log '
chcon -t openvswitch_exec_t /usr/bin/ovs-appctl Should fix this problem for now.
