Re: AVCs with ntpd

I wonder about step 2. below. If you have the latest (and even just a
recent) kernel, all of the SELinux patches are in the kernel already.

I´m running a custom kernel (exactly 2.6.9-rc2-mm1-VP-S1). Since I disabled SElinux, I had no support for it compiled in the kernel, thus the recompilation.


Bringing your system up2date is also a good idea as some of the utilities
(nptd?) have SELinux related patches.

I'm always running from RawHide ;-)

I also think that step 5. needs to be done before steps 3 and 4.

You might boot a couple of times with 5. set, then do 3. and 4.

At least that is what I have done.

AFAIK, you don't need to get SElinux enabled in order to relabel the filesystem. It seems my problems are caused by vanilla kernels not having xattrs support for tmpfs yet. I'll take the RedHat kernel SRPM and will extract the tmpfs xattr support.


Thanks!

OK, so I'm trying SElinux after having it disabled for some time.
That's what I did:

1. Installed selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.16-2
2. Recompiled the kernel with SElinux support
3. Booted into single user mode
4. Ran "fixfiles relabel"
5. Rebooted with "selinux=1"

Now, I'm seeing a lot of these:

audit(1095681913.039:0(: avc: denied  { search } for  pid=2515
exe=/usr/sbin/ntpd dev=tmpfs ino=357 scontext=user_u:system_r:ntpd_t
tcontext=user_u:object_r"tmpfs_t tclass=dir

The problem here is that I'm using UDEV and that the initial ramdisk
mounts a tmpfs on top of "/dev", thus, covering the labeled "/dev" that
resides on disk.


How should I fix this?
