Hi

Just to add to my previous mail. I ran the following after reading man
shttpd_selinux:

chcon -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t /usr/lib/nagios/cgi/status.cgi

After running that I now get the following error messages:

audit(1153995566.816:26): avc:  denied  { search } for  pid=15126
comm="status.cgi" name="log" dev=sda3 ino=48001
scontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_log_t tclass=dir

Can someone help me with understanding this. What is "search"?

Thanks in advance
Dan
