quota and selinux on centos 6.5

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



    Hi,


I'm facing a challenge with selinux and because I don't got an explanation elsewhere, I'm trying to explain here.
I have decided to mount /var/spool/cron on a separate partition  and apply quota for regular users. But quotacheck replyes with a "permission denied" .

quotacheck: Cannot create new quotafile /var/spool/cron/aquota.user.new: Permission denied
quotacheck: Cannot initialize IO on new quotafile: Permission denied


Indeed,  files in that directory has a context witch denies quotacheck process to write files. To became suitable fo quota, those files (aquota.user and aquota.group) must have quota_db_t type(in context).
If I use restorecon /var/spool/cron/aquota.user , it reports that is no default context for that file.


[root@CentOS active]# touch /var/spool/cron/aquota.user
[root@CentOS active]# restorecon /var/spool/cron/
[root@CentOS active]# ls -lZ /var/spool/cron/
-rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:user_cron_spool_t:s0 aquota.user


[root@CentOS active]# restorecon /var/spool/cron/aquota.user
restorecon:  Warning no default label for /var/spool/cron/aquota.user

Semanage reports this 

[root@CentOS active]#  semanage fcontext -l|grep quota
/a?quota\.(user|group)                             regular file       system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0
/boot/a?quota\.(user|group)                        regular file       system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0
/etc/a?quota\.(user|group)                         regular file       system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0

/var/a?quota\.(user|group)                         regular file       system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0
/var/lib/openshift/a?quota\.(user|group)           regular file       system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0
/var/lib/quota(/.*)?                               all files          system_u:object_r:quota_flag_t:s0
/var/lib/stickshift/a?quota\.(user|group)          regular file       system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0
/var/run/quota_nld\.pid                            regular file       system_u:object_r:quota_nld_var_run_t:s0
/var/spool/(.*/)?a?quota\.(user|group)             regular file       system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0



Take a look on the last file . Isn't a default context for /var/spool/cron/aquota.user ?It looks like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=703871 


What's your opinion?
