Issue
- Whenever I start
fence_virtdI seesetroubleshootmessages in/var/log/messages:
Jan 14 10:16:05 node1 setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/fence_virtd from name_bind access on the udp_socket . For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 1d5e47a5-56c7-4256-af85-4ef839abdecb

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/fence_virtd from name_bind access on the udp_socket .
***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests **************************
If you believe that fence_virtd should be allowed name_bind access on the udp_socket 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 fence_virtd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
