Ah, the reason I made that change was that I was getting inconsistent output 
from
<pre>
Puppet::Util.execute(["does_not_exist"], :failonfail => false)
</pre>
using the original version versus my version.  For some reason, my version 
would return the "No such file or directory..." error while the current version 
would return a blank string.  I'll look more into why this happens.

I don't know the first thing about ruby style, so if they're not helpful, I'm 
happy to get rid of them :-)

For what it's worth, I've finished my testing on Fedora 12, and I was able to 
reproduce the issue and confirm that the patch fixes it for me.  I wasn't able 
to reproduce on CentOS 5.4 (most likely due to different SELinux policy 
versions?), but the patch didn't seem to break anything either.  

Like you said, this seems to be a pretty far-reaching change, so the more 
scrutiny and testing this gets, the better.  Thanks for taking a look at this!

Bug #2731: problem communicating with processes in SELinux
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2731

Author: Jonathan Stanton
Status: Needs design decision
Priority: Normal
Assigned to: 
Category: SELinux
Target version: 0.25.2
Affected version: 0.24.8
Keywords: 
Branch: 


On a Centos 5.3 system with NFS mounting home directories, every time puppet 
runs it tries to update the status of the nfs mount from "present" to "mounted" 
but fails because the call to mount returns -32 not 0. But as documented on the 
man page -32 means 'already mounted' and so should be treated as success. Here 
is the logged message from puppetd.
<pre>
Oct 16 10:28:07 savage-file puppetd[11739]: 
(//Node[savage-file.livetimenet.com]/nfs_moose_client/Mount[/mnt/moose_home]/ensure)
 change from present to mounted failed: Execution of '/bin/mount -o rw,async 
/mnt/moose_home' returned 32: 
</pre>
This has been going on for awhile (certainly back several versions of puppet) 
and I've tried some ideas with restarting it, and letting puppet do the 
original mount instead of the OS mounting it directly.
