Issue #18429 has been updated by Andy Bohne.
I am also experiencing this. I am using the [puppet-selinux module](https://github.com/jfryman/puppet-selinux) to ensure that selinux remains disabled on my nodes. I narrowed the issue down to line 38-39 in `/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter/selinux.rb`. <pre><code class="ruby">if FileTest.exists?("/proc/self/attr/current") if (File.read("/proc/self/attr/current") != "kernel\0") </code></pre> With selinux disabled: <pre>[root@template ~]# cat /proc/self/attr/current cat: /proc/self/attr/current: Invalid argument</pre> With selinux enabled: <pre>[root@template ~]# cat /proc/self/attr/current unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023</pre> I have tested on both RHEL 6 and Fedora 18 with the same results. I'm not sure what the preferred fix would be. My first thought we be to rescue the exception that is generated when trying the `File.read` ---------------------------------------- Bug #18429: SELinux off - Could not retrieve selinux: Invalid argument https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18429#change-87383 * Author: Jonas Genannt * Status: Unreviewed * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Category: * Target version: * Keywords: selinux * Branch: * Affected Facter version: 1.6.14 ---------------------------------------- if you switch off selinux on Linux with `echo 0 > /selinux/enforce` and run facter selinux: facter selinux Could not retrieve selinux: Invalid argument - /proc/self/attr/current -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
