Hi gents, I seem to have a small issue with fping and Observium(a monitoring solution). The particular VPS I'm using does have SELinux enabled and it seems to be causing issues when the httpd process is attempting to use Fping? Here is what I know so far : Output from "audit2why -a" : --------------- type=AVC msg=audit(1414265994.125:6744): avc: denied { create } for pid=8968 comm="fping" scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 Was caused by: Missing type enforcement (TE) allow rule. You can use audit2allow to generate a loadable module to allow this access. --------------- Which does seem to confirm that something is wrong between httpd and fping. I then ran "audit2allow -M fping-httpd < audit2allow" which did create both the .te and .pp files. The issue is that inside the .te file, I have a warning saying that the rules already exists! Which does make sense since I had to allow those particular function for the Mysql connection to function properly. --------------- .te file : "module fping-httpd 1.0; require { type httpd_t; class capability net_raw; class rawip_socket create; } #============= httpd_t ============== #!!!! This avc is allowed in the current policy allow httpd_t self:capability net_raw; allow httpd_t self:rawip_socket create; " --------------- Is the "Missing type enforcement" related to all of this? I really don't want to disable SELinux and would rather learn to actually use it properly. Thank you!
