Hi! What do I have to do to get qemu-kvm to run with selinux running with enforcing policy? I get these messages when I enable this policy: Mar 3 20:56:23 matrix kernel: [ 8972.482746] device vnet0 entered promiscuous mode Mar 3 20:56:23 matrix kernel: [ 8972.898943] br0: port 2(vnet0) entering learning state Mar 3 20:56:23 matrix kernel: [ 8972.901957] type=1400 audit(1236110183.820:20): avc: denied { execmem } for pid=6376 comm="kvm" scontext=system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 tclass=process Mar 3 20:56:23 matrix kernel: [ 8973.161318] type=1400 audit(1236110183.832:21): avc: denied { append } for pid=6379 comm="ifup" name="ifstate" dev=sda1 ino=1376380 scontext=system_u:system_r:udev_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_runtime_t:s0 tclass=file Mar 3 20:56:23 matrix kernel: [ 8973.188371] br0: port 2(vnet0) entering disabled state Mar 3 20:56:23 matrix kernel: [ 8973.203666] device vnet0 left promiscuous mode Mar 3 20:56:23 matrix kernel: [ 8973.203675] br0: port 2(vnet0) entering disabled state Mar 3 20:56:23 matrix libvirtd: Received signal 17, dispatching to drivers Mar 3 20:56:23 matrix libvirtd: Received signal 17, dispatching to drivers Mar 3 20:56:23 matrix kernel: [ 8973.216362] type=1400 audit(1236110183.880:22): avc: denied { append } for pid=6387 comm="ifdown" name="ifstate" dev=sda1 ino=1376380 scontext=system_u:system_r:udev_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_runtime_t:s0 tclass=file I've tried to set the type: chcon -t virt_image_t a01.img but all I got was: chcon: failed to change context of `a01.img' to `system_u:object_r:virt_image_t:s0': Invalid argument The host is a debian 5.0 machine.
