Greetings;
And a portion of this lists archive on this box has gone missing to
boot.
So I can't look up the command to extract all these hits, about once
every
2 minutes or so, to a logfile I can post. And when I click on the
star,
it tells me the connection has been lost to
/var/run/setroubleshoot/setroubleshoot_server. But there is a zero
length
file there, generated when I rebooted to 2.6.29-rc7 5:18 ago WTH?
And I just found a very short setroubleshooter.log which I will
attach. It
looks like it got a tummy ache just a few minutes ago.
I think I will follow what I did with 29-rc7, and not build any sound
modules for anything except the audigy2, cuz now I have sound, akonadi
even starts!
Help?
No comment. Can anyone tell me why, when looking at the log
messages, and
it tells me to get the full report by running sealert with -l
hashnumber, I
as root am denied? From a root shell:
[root@coyote log]# sealert -l 1ed4cefd-aa3b-4727-b9ef-28b8e2cbb42c
failed to connect to server: Connection refused
I am back on a 2.6.28.7 kernel now. And setroubleshooter's screen
alerts in
time with the kmail pongs of new mail coming are contributing to my
loss of
sanity or whatever. Somehow it has decided that fetchmail isn't
supposed to
be able to access its users directory/.f, uhh, I was gonna run it
and get
the exact file and the connection to its server has been lost, again. I
thought it was funny that the reject messages were going into the system
log...
Uptodate Fedora 10. x86_64 running 32 bit.
A 'service setroubleshoot restart' restarts it though. Anybody have
a clue,
I seem to be fresh out, and I'm about to compile it out.
Ok, the restart allowed me to collect the most recent hit from sealert:

Summary:
SELinux is preventing procmail (procmail_t) "append" to
/var/log/fetchmail.log
(var_log_t).
Detailed Description:
[SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied
but was
permitted due to permissive
mode.]
SELinux is preventing procmail (procmail_t) "append" to
/var/log/fetchmail.log
(var_log_t). The SELinux type var_log_t, is a generic type for all
files in the
directory and very few processes (SELinux Domains) are allowed to
write to this
SELinux type. This type of denial usual indicates a mislabeled file.
By default
a file created in a directory has the gets the context of the parent
directory,
but SELinux policy has rules about the creation of directories, that
say if a process running in one SELinux Domain (D1) creates a file in
a directory with a
particular SELinux File Context (F1) the file gets a different File
Context (F2). The policy usually allows the SELinux Domain (D1) the
ability to write, unlink, and append on (F2). But if for some reason
a file (/var/log/fetchmail.log) was created with
the wrong context, this domain will be
denied. The usual solution to this problem is to reset the file
context on the target file, restorecon -v '/var/log/fetchmail.log'.
If the file context does not change from var_log_t, then this is
probably a bug in policy. Please file a bug report
(http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against the
selinux-policy package. If it does change, you can try your
application again to
see if it works. The file context could have been mislabeled by
editing the file
or moving the file from a different directory, if the file keeps
getting mislabeled, check the init scripts to see if they are
doing something to mislabel the
file.
Allowing Access:
You can attempt to fix file context by executing restorecon -v
'/var/log/fetchmail.log'
Fix Command:
restorecon '/var/log/fetchmail.log'
