SELinux problem with a custom script at startup

caps_phisto · 06-22-2007, 12:57 PM

Hey all:

I am having an issue with SELinux preventing my server from running a script at startup. It used to work and now for some reason it has stopped. Also the script will run fine if I start it manually after the whole machine has booted.

Here is the SELinux error I get at bootup:

Code:

audit(1182530645.717:1235): avc:  denied  { search } for  pid=2119 comm="ping" name="locale" dev=dm-0 ino=128146 scontext=system_u:system_r:ping_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:locale_t:s0 tclass=dir

Thanks for all your help!

First, make sure you've applied maintenance, in case this has been corrected in the policy.

Second, you can create a local policy if you need to allow an exception.
