Hi,

I have an Internet-facing server running CentOS 7. I just installed Fail2ban using the following packages:

   * fail2ban-server
   * fail2ban-firewalld

For the record, IPv6 is disabled on this server.

Here's the SELinux error I get.

------------------------------------------------------------
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/python2.7 from read access on the file disable.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   *****

If you believe that python2.7 should be allowed read access on the disable file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'f2b/server' --raw | audit2allow -M my-f2bserver
# semodule -i my-f2bserver.pp
------------------------------------------------------------

Weirdly enough, when I follow this suggestion, generate the module and then empty audit.log and restart my server, I still get the exact same error again.

Which makes Fail2ban unusable with SELinux in enforcing mode in the current state.


I'm using fail2ban with SELinux in enforcing mode
on CentOS 7; and I am not seeing that error.

I can't find any reference to a 'disable' file
inside my fail2ban configuration; is it a local
configuration?

If it is, probably you need to add some SELinux
rules permitting fail2ban (which is running with
the fail2ban_t context) to read that file.

Best regards,
