[Freeipa-users] certmonger selinux issue and freeipa dns database error problem

 We have a network that relies on kerberos, 389-ds, bind and nfs4. I am
currently testing out the freeipa version 2 to see if we can use it to
consolidate the various configuration into one interface. For the most part
it works great apart from the obvious area where it has not been completed.
However there are somethings that I have noticed.

1.) The DNS logging always logs database error every time it access the
ldap. even though the query returns okay and the dns reply is fine.

here is an excerpt of the log  named.run

24-Oct-2010 10:32:33.025 edns-disabled: info: success resolving '
www.mailscanner.tv/A' (in 'mailscanner.tv'?) after reducing the advertised

 here is our logging configuration

// *******************

   channel "named_log" {

   channel "security_log" {

  };

      "default_syslog";
      "default_debug";
   };

   category "general" {
      "named_log";
   };

  category "queries" {
    "query_log";
   };

   category "lame-servers" {
      null;
   };

   category "security" {
      "security_log";
   };

   category "config" {
      "named_log";
   };

   category "resolver" {
      "query_log";
   };

   category "xfer-in" {
      "transfer_log";
   };

   category "xfer-out" {
      "transfer_log";
   };

   category "notify" {
      "transfer_log";
   };

   category "client" {
      "query_log";
   };

   category "network" {
      "named_log";
   };

   category "update" {

   };

   category "dnssec" {
      "security_log";
   };

 category "dispatch" {
      "security_log";
   };
};

This error message keeps triggering our monitoring systems.

2.)  I currently have only one ipa-client; and certmonger keeps getting
seliux AVC denials

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/certmonger "execute" access on
/usr/libexec/certmonger/ipa-submit.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by certmonger. It is not expected that this
access is required by certmonger and this access may signal an intrusion
attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of
the
application is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

I was using certmonger-0.30-1.fc13.i686 from source [ freeipa-devel ]
because of the problem I updated to the nightly build
certmonger-0.32-0.2010101515git5920eca.fc13 but the problem continues.

These are the selinux rpms
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-65.fc13.noarch
selinux-policy-3.7.19-65.fc13.noarch
libselinux-python-2.0.94-2.fc13.i686
libselinux-utils-2.0.94-2.fc13.i686

Thanks
