Hi,

I'm seeing messages similar to the following for a number of services 
on a recently updated Centos 6.4 system.

I can generate local policies for each service but is there some 
boolean which can affecdt this sys_admin capability.

/usr/sbin/nmbd from using the sys_admin capability. For complete 
SELinux messages. run sealert -l 5a37dd50-b60c-4a1c-b97d-6d62baeee33a

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/nmbd from using the sys_admin 
capability.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  
***************************

If you believe that nmbd should have the sys_admin capability 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 nmbd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp


Thanks,

Tony
