What about plugin execution or external command files? I rather think you should use the contexts - system_u:object_r:nagios_log_t:s0 - system_u:object_r:nagios_spool_t:s0 - system_u:object_r:nagios_exec_t:s0 - system_u:object_r:nrpe_etc_t:s0 - system_u:object_r:httpd_nagios_script_exec_t:s0 Actually it would be propably up to me to set these correctly in the rpmforge package.... Maybe some selinux guru can help me out? financial.com AG Munich head office/Hauptsitz München: Maria-Probst-Str. 19 | 80939 München | Germany Frankfurt branch office/Niederlassung Frankfurt: Messeturm | Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage 49 | 60327 Frankfurt | Germany Management board/Vorstand: Dr. Steffen Boehnert (CEO/Vorsitzender) | Dr. Alexis Eisenhofer | Dr. Yann Samson | Matthias Wiederwach Supervisory board/Aufsichtsrat: Dr. Dr. Ernst zur Linden (chairman/Vorsitzender) Register court/Handelsregister: Munich – HRB 128 972 | Sales tax ID number/St.Nr.: DE205 370 553
