I'm setting up a dedicated database server, and since this will be a
central service to my various web servers I wanted it to be as secure as
possible...so I am leaving SELinux enabled. However I'm having trouble
getting Apache to use mod_auth_pam. I also now can't get setroubleshootd
working to send me notifications of the denials and provide tips to solve
the problem.
The Apache service has this directive on the default vhost,
-------------------
<Directory "/usr/share/phpMyAdmin">
AuthPAM_Enabled on
AllowOverride None
AuthName "HTTP Auth"
AuthType basic
require valid-user
</Directory>
When I attempt to authenticate I noticed this in /var/log/secure
--------------------
Nov 1 15:06:58 host httpd: PAM audit_open() failed: Permission denied
This is the entry from the audit log...
----------------

As for setroubleshoot, I have a duplicate install working just fine on
another server, or at least it was working. I'm worried updating to CR may
have broken setroubleshootd. Mainly I'd like to know how to troubleshoot
that application. Messagebus is running.
Running setroubleshootd yields these results...

I've found this resource,
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/SELinux_FAQ/index.html#id4621954,
but have no idea how to make that change or where that modification would
go.
Please let me know what other information would be useful.
Thanks
