Description of problem: I'm trying to run ejabberd, and for some reason SELinux shoots it down during startup. I have PAM authentication enabled, like that: ---- >8 ---- {auth_method, pam}. {pam_service, "login"}. ---- 8< ---- SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/erlang/erts-5.10.1/bin/epmd from 'write' accesses on the file /run/lock/ejabberdctl/ejabberdctl-1. ***** Plugin leaks (86.2 confidence) suggests ****************************** If you want to ignore epmd trying to write access the ejabberdctl-1 file, because you believe it should not need this access. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to dontaudit this access. Do # grep /usr/lib64/erlang/erts-5.10.1/bin/epmd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -D -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp ***** Plugin catchall (14.7 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that epmd should be allowed write access on the ejabberdctl-1 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 epmd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:rabbitmq_epmd_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:var_lock_t:s0 Target Objects /run/lock/ejabberdctl/ejabberdctl-1 [ file ] Source epmd Source Path /usr/lib64/erlang/erts-5.10.1/bin/epmd Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages erlang-erts-R16B-0.3.fc19.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-66.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 11 19:39:38 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2013-08-02 17:47:46 MSK Last Seen 2013-08-02 17:49:56 MSK Local ID 2f7c28af-98ff-44f4-9a34-ca5f03be13e9 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1375451396.741:522): avc: denied { write } for pid=28073 comm="epmd" path="/run/lock/ejabberdctl/ejabberdctl-1" dev="tmpfs" ino=153034 scontext=system_u:system_r:rabbitmq_epmd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_lock_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1375451396.741:522): arch=x86_64 syscall=execve success=yes exit=0 a0=2433440 a1=24333d0 a2=2431f40 a3=8 items=0 ppid=28069 pid=28073 auid=4294967295 uid=991 gid=989 euid=991 suid=991 fsuid=991 egid=989 sgid=989 fsgid=989 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=epmd exe=/usr/lib64/erlang/erts-5.10.1/bin/epmd subj=system_u:system_r:rabbitmq_epmd_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: epmd,rabbitmq_epmd_t,var_lock_t,file,write Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.6 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport
