On the RH 5.3 hosts I have installed just the client side of
hobbit.4.2.0.
After a reboot I get the following in the /var/log/messages file:
Jul 7 15:41:37 galileo kernel: type=1400 audit(1246995697.604:109):

Right after a boot I get the following:
[14][root at galileo]:hobbit/client/logs# ls -alZ
drwxr-xr-x bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 ./
drwxr-xr-x bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 ../
-rw-r--r-- bb bb system_u:object_r:default_t:s0
clientlaunch.galileo.math.purdue.edu.pid
-rw-r--r-- bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 clientlaunch.log
-rw-r--r-- bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 hobbitclient.log
If I then manually run the init.d/hobbit start script then it shows:
35][root at galileo]:hobbit/client/logs# ls -alZ
drwxr-xr-x bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 ./
drwxr-xr-x bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 ../
-rw-r--r-- bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0
clientlaunch.galileo.math.purdue.edu.pid
-rw-r--r-- bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 clientlaunch.log
-rw-r--r-- bb bb user_u:object_r:default_t:s0 hobbitclient.log
and I do not get the error messages in /var/log.
I know that this is being caused by SELinux, but not sure the best way
to resolve this problem?
Thanks
