Latest selinux update & ping

[Jouni Viikari]

Hi,

After the latest selinux updates I get a lot of these messages at my
log:

SELinux is preventing /bin/ping (ping_t) "search" to locale (locale_t)

or audit log:

denied  { search } for  pid=16255 comm="ping" name="locale" dev=dm-0
ino=3113039 scontext=system_u:system_r:ping_t:s0

scontext=system_u:system_r:ping_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:loca
le_t:s0 tclass=dir

The last line repeats itself many times.

The pings are run by Big Brother which as a one task pings my network to
see all is up.

Is this a local problem here, selinux problem or ping problem?
