Description Milan Zázrivec 2011-04-07 13:20:29 UTC 
Description of problem:
* Satellite 5.4.1 @ RHEL-6.1
* Custom distribution kickstartable tree placed on Satellite's filer
(i.e. /var/satellite)
* creation of custom distribution in webui fails with an error message:

    The kernel could not be found at the specified location: ...

* Following SELinux denials show:

type=AVC msg=audit(1302172437.980:21641): avc:  denied  { search } for
 pid=1349 comm="cobblerd" name="satellite" dev=vda1 ino=929797 
scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:cobblerd_t:s0 
tcontext=system_u:object_r:spacewalk_data_t:s0 tclass=dir

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.7.19-80.el6.noarch
cobbler-2.0.7-8.el6sat.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to create custom distribution in Satellite webui (the path pointing
to a location on your filer)
  
Actual results:
The action fails, selinux denial occurs.

Expected results:
The action succeeds, no SELinux denials.

Additional info:
The thing works w/ SELinux permissive.

The same problem will most likely show with kickstart distributions
downloaded from RHN.

Verified as per bug 702274 comment 15.
