SELinux troubleshooting

Fri Dec 1 20:36:46 UTC 2006

Hello everyone,

I keep getting the following messages in my messages log about every 30
seconds or so.  I have SELinux set to enforcing and targeted mode.  If I
do a getenforce on the command line it returns enforcing.

Dec  1 12:31:03 dev kernel: audit(1165005063.015:258313): avc: denied  {
getattr } for  pid=31342 comm="snmpd" name="/" dev=sda3 ino=2
scontext=system_u:system_r:snmpd_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:home_root_t tclass=dir

I need help deciphering what is happening.  I have a snmpd daemon
running that responds to queries from a Nagios host that performs
service checks.

Thanks in advance.
