Thanks for the feedback Ian. This seems to be working now. -----Original Message----- From: Ian Marks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: September 20, 2006 6:35 AM To: Yong Lee Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] selinux ping problems
I have my nagios.cmd file set with "root:object_r:usr_t". Try setting it to that and see if it works. Otherwise, you can install the "selinux-policy-targeted-sources" package, assuming you are using a targeted policy, and do the following. cd /etc/selinux/$SELINUXTYPE/src/policy echo "allow ping_t httpd_var_run_t:fifo_file read;" >> /domains/misc/local.te make load This may not be the most secure way of doing it but it should allow you what you need.
