:SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/updatedb from 'getattr' accesses on the directory .
:
:***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests **************************
:
:If you believe that updatedb should be allowed getattr access on the directory by default.
:Then you should report this as a bug.
:You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
:Do
:allow this access for now by executing:
:# grep updatedb /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp
