setroubleshootd dead but pid file exists

[Radha Venkatesh (radvenka)]

Dan,

The issue persists even after 

touch/.autorelabel
reboot

Also checked setroubleshoot before and after reboot, and it is labeled

>>ls -Z setroubleshoot
-rwxr-xr-x  root root system_u:object_r:initrc_exec_t  setroubleshoot

Thanks,
Radha.

Well you have setroubleshoot running as sshd_t?  I think you have a
badly mislabeled system

touch /.autorelabel; reboot

And see if things start to work correctly.
