Hi there,
I updated my system on the 26th, and after an involuntary restart this evening, if I have SELinux enabled, xend will not start. The errors in the logs are the following.
audit(1180381236.512:338): avc: denied { execute } for pid=7781 comm="python" name="bash" dev=dm-0 ino=1376288 scontext=user_u:system_r:xend_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:shell_exec_t:s0 tclass=file audit(1180381236.664:339): avc: denied { execute } for pid=7793 comm="python" name="bash" dev=dm-0 ino=1376288 scontext=user_u:system_r:xend_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:shell_exec_t:s0 tclass=file audit(1180381237.276:340): avc: denied { execute } for pid=7797 comm="python" name="bash" dev=dm-0 ino=1376288 scontext=user_u:system_r:xend_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:shell_exec_t:s0 tclass=file
I have run a "restorecon -R /" to attempt to correct this, but it makes no difference.
The installed SELinux packages are: libselinux.x86_64 1.33.4-2.fc6 installed libselinux.i386 1.33.4-2.fc6 installed libselinux-python.x86_64 1.33.4-2.fc6 installed selinux-policy.noarch 2.4.6-69.fc6 installed selinux-policy-targeted.noarch 2.4.6-69.fc6 installed
I have re-installed these, just in case, and rerun restorecon. Enabling SELinux still gives the same errors.
I am no expert on SELinux (and I failed the RHS333 exam :-/ ) and I am a bit stumped on this one. Does anyone have an idea what is wrong and what I can try to resolve this?
Thanks!
