In the shell script, namely redhat-install.sh ... REDHAT_AREA=/net/redhat; SERVER=abc.foo.edu; if [ ! -d ${REDHAT_AREA}/bin ]; then mkdir -p ${REDHAT_AREA}/bin; fi echo "Copying some files from server" scp -r ${SERVER}:${REDHAT_AREA}/bin/ ${REDHAT_AREA} ... I labeled the redhat-install.sh script as file_t and shell_exec_t, but they both did not work. There is no security context for /net and /net is empty on my machine, so when I run this script, the error messages are: mkdir: cannot create directory `/net/redhat': Permission denied Copying some files from server /net/redhat: Permission denied There is no AVC messages in either /var/log/messages or /var/log/audit/audit.log. There are these lines in /var/log/messages: Aug 15 16:51:17 ko automount[3254]: >> /usr/sbin/showmount: can't get address for redhat Aug 15 16:51:17 ko automount[3254]: lookup(program): lookup for redhat failed Aug 15 16:51:17 ko automount[3254]: failed to mount /net/redhat Thanks a lot, James On 8/15/05, Daniel J Walsh <dwalsh@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > James Z.
