Bug ID: 1357510
           Summary: Erlang Port Mapper Daemon Activation Socket fails to
                    start
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 24
         Component: erlang

   External Bug ID: Red Hat Bugzilla 1293128

Description of problem:

I was trying to enable SSL in rabbitmq-server but it requires epmd to run.
SELinux prevents epmd to start.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

erlang-18.3.4-1.fc24.x86_64
erlang-erts-18.3.4-1.fc24.x86_64
selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-191.fc24.3.noarch

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install rabbitmq-server
2. systemctl enable epmd.socket epmd.service rabbitmq-server
3. configure SSL options in /etc/rabbitmq/rabbitmq.config
4. reboot

Actual results:

epmd.service has a dependency on epmd.socket but it cannot be activated:

audit[1]: AVC avc:  denied  { create } for  pid=1 comm="systemd"
scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:system_r:unconfined_service_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket
permissive=0

There is no setsebool toggle to allow systemd to open TCP sockets.

Expected results:

EPMD daemon should be able to start without socket activation.

Additional info:

After changing the epmd.service to not require systemd socket activation
with this patch below, but #1293128 occurs:

audit[7686]: AVC avc:  denied  { name_connect } for  pid=7686 comm="epmd"
dest=4369 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:epmd_port_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket permissive=0
