    Description

      Each and every day I get the following email:
      /etc/cron.daily/logrotate:
      error: error switching euid to 116 and egid to 121: Operation not permitted
      run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate exited with return code 1

      This happens because of the "su puppetdb puppetdb" line in puppetdb's logrotate configuration, which in turn triggers the following SELinux policy rule:

      root@zarquon:~# sesearch -t logrotate_t -s logrotate_t --dontaudit
      Found 1 semantic av rules:
      dontaudit logrotate_t logrotate_t : capability

      { setgid setuid sys_ptrace }

      ;

      As a workaround, I could change the SELinux policy, but I'm reluctant to do that, as this is a rule that is explicitly denied.
