Description gentoo 2007-10-05 08:50:39 UTC 
executing /usr/sbin/xm (of app-emulation/xen-tools-3.1.0-r1) as sysadm_t in selinux enforced mode does not work.

 # xm list
 bash: /usr/sbin/xm: /usr/bin/env: bad interpreter: Permission denied


Reproducible: Always




Solution:

xm has the symlink /usr/bin/env to get the path of python. Therefore we could
change the path in /usr/sbin/xm from /usr/bin/env to /bin/env (the real script-location)

or

Change the policy.

should be fixed in current 2.x policy.  please reopen if this is not the case.
