hi, newby speaking here (totally lost in the selinux labyrinth).

What i want to accomplish with selinux is the following : i want to allow
different end-users (with different roles) to do something with some files.
I'll give you an example :

fileA : may be read by roleA and roleB
fileB : may only be read by roleB ; audited
fileC : may be read and changed by roleB ; audited

I read several pdf's, read the o'reilly book, but i seem to be unable to
achieve my goal.
Help would be appreciated.





You may want to look at ACLs and Auditing rather than SELinux.



ACLs are discretionary, so I don't think that will meet his need. Suggestion: 1) Convert your machine to strict policy (so that you have real user roles and domains), 2) Search the mailing list archives for discussions of how to add a new user role to the policy (e.g. see the full_user_role() macro and domains/user.te). Also, look at the recently added support for a separate security administrator role introduced by Dan.



Yes I realize that but handling things like this with MAC is not that easy. Writing policy
where different user roles have R, RW,RWX, No read is not a strong suit of MAC.
