Additional chcon command for Nagios install

[Mike Hanby]

Howdy,

 

I found on my system (RHEL4 with SELINUX enforcing) that I was unable to
"Acknowledge this service problem" with an error:

 

"Error: could not stat() command file
/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd"

 

dmesg on the system would report:

"audit(1193232913.522:2): avc:  denied  { getattr } for  pid=9125
comm="cmd.cgi" name="nagios.cmd" dev=dm-0 ino=17121801
scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t
tcontext=user_u:object_r:usr_t tclass=fifo_file"

 

Executing the following resolved the issue:

chcon -R -t httpd_sys_script_rw_t /usr/local/nagios/var/rw/

 

Would it be possible to add this to the v3 manual with the chcon for
sbin and share (page 313)?

 

Thanks (is there a Bugzilla or other tracker we can use to submit
documentation requests / bugs?

 

Mike
