Description of problem: I'm trying to run ejabberd on fresh install of Fedora 19, and for some reason SELinux shoots it down. I have no idea in hell, why ejabberd would want to have write access to ejabberd.pem, which I presume to be a certificate, but whatever.. SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/erlang/erts-5.10.1/bin/beam.smp from 'write' accesses on the file ejabberd.pem. ***** Plugin catchall_labels (83.8 confidence) suggests ******************** If you want to allow beam.smp to have write access on the ejabberd.pem file Then you need to change the label on ejabberd.pem Do # semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE 'ejabberd.pem' where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: afs_cache_t, couchdb_var_lib_t, initrc_tmp_t, puppet_tmp_t, rabbitmq_var_lib_t, rabbitmq_var_run_t, user_cron_spool_t. Then execute: restorecon -v 'ejabberd.pem' ***** Plugin catchall (17.1 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that beam.smp should be allowed write access on the ejabberd.pem 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 beam.smp /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:rabbitmq_beam_t:s0 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 Target Objects ejabberd.pem [ file ] Source beam.smp Source Path /usr/lib64/erlang/erts-5.10.1/bin/beam.smp 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 7 First Seen 2013-08-02 17:45:55 MSK Last Seen 2013-08-02 17:49:59 MSK Local ID 77f25343-042d-45c1-b6a0-73a8b2fb0fd4 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1375451399.943:529): avc: denied { write } for pid=28168 comm="beam.smp" name="ejabberd.pem" dev="dm-3" ino=395901 scontext=system_u:system_r:rabbitmq_beam_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1375451399.943:529): arch=x86_64 syscall=access success=no exit=EACCES a0=7f352c801ca0 a1=2 a2=0 a3=0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=28168 auid=4294967295 uid=991 gid=989 euid=991 suid=991 fsuid=991 egid=989 sgid=989 fsgid=989 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=beam.smp exe=/usr/lib64/erlang/erts-5.10.1/bin/beam.smp subj=system_u:system_r:rabbitmq_beam_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: beam.smp,rabbitmq_beam_t,etc_t,file,write Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.6 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport
