Sup, I am using EPEL 6 and a garmin 18 LVC on a serial port with gpsd. I am fairly new to the selinux environment. ntpd is supposed to be able to access a couple of shm locations to get time from the gps daemon. In /var/log/messages I see : Mar 18 00:10:11 localhost ntpd[8899]: SHM shmget (unit 0): Permission denied Mar 18 00:10:11 localhost ntpd[8899]: configuration of 127.127.28.0 failed Mar 18 00:10:11 localhost ntpd[8899]: SHM shmget (unit 1): Permission denied Mar 18 00:10:11 localhost ntpd[8899]: configuration of 127.127.28.1 failed Also avc messages : type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1300431471.964:16749): arch=40000003 syscall=117 success=no exit=-13 a0=17 a1=4e545031 a2=50 a3=3c0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=8795 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=12 comm="ntpd" exe="/usr/sbin/ntpd" subj=unconfined_u:system_r:ntpd_t:s0 key=(null) type=AVC msg=audit(1300432211.929:16768): avc: denied { unix_read unix_write } for pid=8899 comm="ntpd" key=1314148400 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:ntpd_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=shm type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1300432211.929:16768): arch=40000003 syscall=117 success=no exit=-13 a0=17 a1=4e545030 a2=50 a3=3c0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=8899 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=12 comm="ntpd" exe="/usr/sbin/ntpd" subj=unconfined_u:system_r:ntpd_t:s0 key=(null) type=AVC msg=audit(1300432211.930:16769): avc: denied { unix_read unix_write } for pid=8899 comm="ntpd" key=1314148401 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:ntpd_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=shm Here's some direction from audit2allow : # grep ntpd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow #============= ntpd_t ============== allow ntpd_t unconfined_t:shm { unix_read unix_write }; Should I use audit2allow and create a policy package to fix this or is there a better way?
