Re: Defaults of CentOS Install not working with SELinux

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



Ok, but how?  

There appear to be a lot of different options when employing audit2allow and I am reluctant to start blazing away trying different elements.  I am missing the details of what socket an dhow the execution is occuring so that I can begin to develop the proper audit2allow sequence.

Hi

Dovecot is trying to open a socket, and procmail is trying to execute spamc, You should be able to fix these issues using audit2allow.

Following a hard drive corruption I have reinstalled the latest version of CentOS and all current patch files.

For most applications I selected the default options.  By doing this I expected that the packages would play nice with one another and I could customize as necessary.

Setting SELinux to enforce I encountered all sorts of problems - but most were resolvable, save for Dovecot, Procmail (for spamc), and an odd one with Apache.

Given that these were all installed with the CentOS install defaults, I can't believe I am the only one with these issues but finding a solution has not been self evident.  Hoping someone here can help.

For Dovecot I get the following:
SELinux is preventing dovecot (dovecot_t) "create" to <Unknown> (dovecot_t). For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l e1b070ab-586a-4c5a-befe-b6a46b9ab992

For procmail I get the following:
SELinux is preventing procmail (procmail_t) "execute" to ./spamc (spamc_exec_t). For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 0a554689-4948-4edf-9964-dddbfe6a2492
SELinux is preventing sh (procmail_t) "read" to ./spamc (spamc_exec_t). For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 1f1ebd83-412d-4e93-a36f-6f3d34c663df

For Apache it's even more strange - When started I get:
Syntax error on line 283 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
DocumentRoot must be  directory

But it is a directory, has the correct permissions and I have even run chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t /web/www/ in an effort to correct the problem.  I run a virtual server too, and in trying to find a fix for this that may be a problem - but first things first.

All the other issues I had I could resolve when I ran the specified "sealert" tag and followed the suggested instructions - but those above don't budge.  When I go to the fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-fq-fc5 site to take on making a local policy module I am quickly getting lost .   The option to simply disable SElinux with respect to Apache, Dovecote or anything else is suggested - but not something I see in the GUI window, and I have not figured out how to do it from the command line.

Again, because these are default packages, I hope that someone else knows how to resolve these.

With respect to the to reports from SELinux regarding Dovecot and promail, here is a bit more info:
