Understandig SELinux...

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I've lots of problems related to SELinux on FC3...

I get tonnes of messages like

  ...
  audit(1102179993.228:0): avc: denied { append } for pid=2624
    exe=/sbin/syslogd name=boot.log dev=md-6 ino=128104
    scontex=root:system_r:syslogd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t
    tclass=file
  syslog: /var/log/boot.log: Permissin denied
  ...

Same problem with dhcpd, portmap, etc.
I've tried this

  [root@murphy etc]# ls -alZ /var/log/boot.log
    -rw-------  root     root    /var/log/boot.log

... and then this

  [root@murphy etc]# chcon -t var_log_t /var/log/boot.log

but I always get the error message

  "chcon: can't apply partial context to unlabeled file boot.log"

What I'm trying to understand is why system files like this are
not already labeled as they should, and what I've to do to get
my boxes working without complying... 

Thanks for helping a poor novice,
j3d.
