Description of problem: I am trying to run ejabberd with PAM authentication, but SELinux shoots that down. I have the following in my /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.conf: ---- >8 ---- {auth_method, pam}. {pam_service, "login"}. ---- 8< ---- SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/ejabberd/priv/bin/epam from 'create' accesses on the unix_dgram_socket . ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that epam should be allowed create access on the unix_dgram_socket 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 epam /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 system_u:system_r:rabbitmq_beam_t:s0 Target Objects [ unix_dgram_socket ] Source epam Source Path /usr/lib64/ejabberd/priv/bin/epam Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages ejabberd-2.1.13-1.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 16 First Seen 2013-08-02 17:55:42 MSK Last Seen 2013-08-05 11:59:25 MSK Local ID da08c608-569c-43f6-94c2-208e89449d3d Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1375689565.281:1593): avc: denied { create } for pid=28188 comm="epam" scontext=system_u:system_r:rabbitmq_beam_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:rabbitmq_beam_t:s0 tclass=unix_dgram_socket type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1375689565.281:1593): arch=x86_64 syscall=socket success=no exit=EACCES a0=1 a1=80002 a2=0 a3=26 items=0 ppid=28154 pid=28188 auid=4294967295 uid=991 gid=989 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=989 sgid=989 fsgid=989 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=epam exe=/usr/lib64/ejabberd/priv/bin/epam subj=system_u:system_r:rabbitmq_beam_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: epam,rabbitmq_beam_t,rabbitmq_beam_t,unix_dgram_socket,create Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.6 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport
