I am almost successfully using samba with selinux. I have run into a problem with the smb.conf utmp parameter which causes login/logout information to be written so commands such as who and last will display samba users. With utmp enabled, I am getting the following in /var/log/messages. Apr 9 10:36:21 localhost kernel: audit(1144593381.511:447): avc: denied { read write } for pid=3934 comm="smbd" name="utmp" dev=dm-0 ino=3309575 scontext=root:system_r:smbd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:initrc_var_run_t:s0 tclass=file Apr 9 10:36:21 localhost kernel: audit(1144593381.511:448): avc: denied { read } for pid=3934 comm="smbd" name="utmp" dev=dm-0 ino=3309575 scontext=root:system_r:smbd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:initrc_var_run_t:s0 tclass=file Apr 9 10:36:21 localhost kernel: audit(1144593381.511:449): avc: denied { read write } for pid=3934 comm="smbd" name="utmp" dev=dm-0 ino=3309575 scontext=root:system_r:smbd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:initrc_var_run_t:s0 tclass=file Apr 9 10:36:21 localhost kernel: audit(1144593381.511:450): avc: denied { read } for pid=3934 comm="smbd" name="utmp" dev=dm-0 ino=3309575 scontext=root:system_r:smbd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:initrc_var_run_t:s0 tclass=file I believe that the utmp file is in /var/run. What can I enter to avoid these messages per user connection and cause the logging to occur?
