Seems to me, that httpd should not be looking at /usr/share/snmp/.../.index files? Notice that the .index file appears and for some reason httpd thinks it should be looking at it!?!? I don't know what to make of it. Here is what I got from selinuxtool: ================================================ Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd "write" access to /usr/share/snmp/mibs/.index. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by httpd. /usr/share/snmp/mibs/.index may be a mislabeled. /usr/share/snmp/mibs/.index default SELinux type is snmpd_var_lib_t, but its current type is usr_t. Changing this file back to the default type, may fix your problem. File contexts can be assigned to a file in the following ways. * Files created in a directory receive the file context of the parent directory by default. * The SELinux policy might override the default label inherited from the parent directory by specifying a process running in context A which creates a file in a directory labeled B will instead create the file with label C. An example of this would be the dhcp client running with the dhclient_t type and creating a file in the directory /etc. This file would normally receive the etc_t type due to parental inheritance but instead the file is labeled with the net_conf_t type because the SELinux policy specifies this. * Users can change the file context on a file using tools such as chcon, or restorecon. This file could have been mislabeled either by user error, or if an normally confined application was run under the wrong domain. However, this might also indicate a bug in SELinux because the file should not have been labeled with this type. If you believe this is a bug, please file a bug report against this package. Allowing Access: You can restore the default system context to this file by executing the restorecon command. restorecon '/usr/share/snmp/mibs/.index', if this file is a directory, you can recursively restore using restorecon -R '/usr/share/snmp/mibs/.index'. Fix Command: /sbin/restorecon '/usr/share/snmp/mibs/.index' Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:usr_t:s0 Target Objects /usr/share/snmp/mibs/.index [ file ] Source httpd Source Path /usr/sbin/httpd Port <Unknown> Host gold.cdkkt.com Source RPM Packages httpd-2.2.14-1.fc12 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.6.32-89.fc12 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name restorecon Host Name gold.cdkkt.com Platform Linux gold.cdkkt.com 2.6.31.12-174.2.22.fc12.i686 #1 SMP Fri Feb 19 19:26:06 UTC 2010 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen Tue 02 Mar 2010 02:35:14 PM PST Last Seen Tue 02 Mar 2010 02:35:14 PM PST Local ID 985d0293-7cc2-401b-85b0-d8273b14364e Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages node=gold.cdkkt.com type=AVC msg=audit(1267569314.169:39991): avc: denied { write } for pid=2133 comm="httpd" name=".index" dev=sdb8 ino=520318 scontext=system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:usr_t:s0 tclass=file node=gold.cdkkt.com type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1267569314.169:39991): arch=40000003 syscall=5 success=no exit=-13 a0=bfe6fa10 a1=8241 a2=1b6 a3=b7181e7f items=0 ppid=1 pid=2133 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="httpd" exe="/usr/sbin/httpd" subj=system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 key=(null) -- selinux mailing list selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinux
