SELinux denying access to clamd and pyzor

[mdtiberi]

I am getting a number of messages saying that both clamd and pyzor are being denied read access by SELinux.

Is this interfering with the operation of these programs? Should I disable SELinux for these apps?

Thanks much.

CentOS 5
Plesk 8.4.0

From SELinux -l yadayada:

avc: denied { getattr } for comm="pyzor" dev=md2 egid=103 euid=10017

I turn SELinux off by default in the ASL kernels. In my professional opinion, its Cargo Cult Security

Besides, ASL has a powerful least privilege RBAC thats more secure and powerful that selinux, so really selinux is like grsecurity lite.

Thanks Scott, I ended up turning it off since for some reason I had it set to permissive mode - no point then.
