Hi, Today I have updated a CentOS 6.8 system that has MariaDB-server installed from http://yum.mariadb.org/5.5/centos6-amd64 and found that I had an SELinux issue when I tried to restart the service. Using the information at https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux I have created a local policy that seems to fix things module marialocal 1.0; require { type mysqld_safe_t; class capability { setuid setgid }; } #============= mysqld_safe_t ============== allow mysqld_safe_t self:capability setgid; allow mysqld_safe_t self:capability setuid; This seems to fix things for me, but I thought I had better see if others are experiencing the same problem ? It may be useful to know that the particular rpms are MariaDB-server-5.5.54-1.el6.x86_64 and selinux-policy-3.7.19-292.el6_8.2.noarch. If it is a bigger issue than just myself, should I report this somewhere else to see if we can get a fix added to the next MariaDB-server rpm ? Thanks
