Hey there, I have a problem with an ntfs partition and it’s selinux context. First of all I use the ntfs partition to store all my data. This includes openvpn secrets. But as the ntfs gets a system_u:object_r:fusefs_t:s0 context, selinux prevents openvpn from opening the certificate. > type=AVC msg=audit(1339236971.22:90): avc: denied { read } for pid=1689 comm="openvpn" name="mycert.crt" dev="sda5" ino=1729 scontext=system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:fusefs_t:s0 tclass=file Now, instead of allowing every single app to access fusefs_t, I’d rather like to give the files the right context. Changing the context, however, doesn’t seem to be possible on ntfs: > $ chcon -t "default_t" /data > chcon: failed to change context of `/data' to `system_u:object_r:default_t:s0': Operation not supported I then tried to mount the partition using the context option. But that did work either: > $ mount -o context="system_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0" /dev/sda5 /data > ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Invalid argument > $ mount -o context="system_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0",default /dev/sda5 /data > ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Invalid argument Oddly enough, another user reported this syntax to work in the thread “[OT] how to share a directory under ntfs mount point with selinux enabled?“: > OK. Walking through other documents I found that the "correct" syntax > is with a ":s0" at the end of the option, and also add defaults at the > end, like: > > context=system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0,defaults > > This way I can correctly mount a share against a directory under the ntfs tree Does anybody now how to mount the partition correctly? Or even better: is there a possibility to set the context of ntfs files? Thanks, chritallic PS: I’m new to selinux, so my apologies if there is something really dumb in here. ;-) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
