New policies installed. Minor problem & change(?)

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

 



I've installed the latest selinux-policy-strict-1.13.2-4 stuff (along with -sources, libselinux*, etc. dependencies via 'yum update') with system running selinux-policy-strict-1.13.2-2/enforcing.

A few 'minor' items noted:

1). The install produced protection/access messages when attempting to write/create /etc/selinux/strict/policy/policy.17 (the usual 'creating in .rpmnew' thing). Did this once for selinux-policy-strict and once for selinux-policy-strict-sources.

(I had just completed a 'fixfiles relabel' with selinux-policy-strict-1.13.2-2, so I'm confident that the /etc/selinux directory was properly labeled.)

I then did a manual 'mv policy.17 policy.17.rpmsave; mv policy.17.rpmnew policy.17', rebooted single-user, and did a 'fixfiles relabel', and then rebooted multi-user.

('fixfiles relabel/check' now fails if run in enforcing mode ('Permission denied' for file_contexts). Works if you 'setenforce 0' first. Did I miss a change?)

2). Also, there now is a complete absence of 'avc' messages in /var/log/messages. Is this expected?

3). I checked the scripts on the policy rpms and it looks like the reference to 'POLICYTYPE' is gone (replaced with 'SELINUXTYPE'). Is it safe to remove the 'POLICYTYPE=strict' line from /etc/sysconfig/selinux and from /etc/selinux/config? Can I safely remove one file?

Thanks for the updates!
