Hi All
I'm having trouble running software, especially the cgi scripts. I
keep getting the following denial messages:
audit(1153994541.663:20): avc: denied { execute_no_trans } for
pid=9258 comm="httpd" name="status.cgi" dev=sda2 ino=19426
scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:lib_t
tclass=file
The files are located in /usr/lib/nagios/cgi/
Could some please help me figure this out. I've started to read
through the selinux manual but its a huge climb and would appreciate
ways to solve the above.
You should read "man httpd_selinux", which has notes on running CGI
programs under SELinux.
You generally need to set the SELinux context type of CGI programs to
httpd_sys_script_exec_t:
# chcon -R -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t /usr/lib/nagios/cgi
Is this the nagios version in Fedora Extras? If it is, failure to work
with SELinux enabled should be bugzilla-ed.
