extras package that require changes in selinux-policy (initng)

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

 



Hello.
I am working on selinux support in initng, which is in review for extras now [1]. But it seems that initng requires a policy to work (just tested in targeted mode) Using the default context (sbin_t) lets all apps that are started from initng run as kernel_t. Relabling /sbin/initng to init_exec_t (same as init) fixes this and the processes run as init_t and udev_t for udev, but some issues still remain. hald,httpd, etc. also run as init_t which is *wrong* they have to get into their own domain. How is this handled in sysvinit?
After reading the code I havn't found anything about it.
The patch I wrote can be found here: http://bugzilla.initng.thinktux.net/show_bug.cgi?id=365
Did I do something wrong? Did I miss something?
After fixing this we will run into an other problem. Every time the filesystem gots relabled initng will become sbin_t which will break it. To fix this we need to modify the selinux-policy. What should be done if a package in extras requires to change a core package? Should I just fill a bug against it and hope that it will be released as an update for FC4, and gets into rawhide too?
Was unable to find anything about it in the wiki.
