Hello again,
I was able to install Oracle 10gR2 on RHEL4U4 with selinux in targeted
enforcing mode. No selinux messages in /var/log/messages or dmesg. I
found a couple of scripts that will start and shutdown the database and
enterprise manager on boot and shutdown. I had a couple of problems with
this part and I am not sure if selinux is the problem or not. Let me
explain then I will post the code.
I created a file called oracle in /etc/rc.d/init.d. I ran chkconfig
oracle reset. I then ran service oracle start. The database wouldn't
start. oracle calls the script dbstart which needs ORACLE_HOME defined.
If I add a export ORACLE_HOME=/path/to/oracle to dbstart everything works.
If I remove the export then the database won't start. I was under the
assumption that when I set ORACLE_HOME in oracle it would be able to be
used by dbstart. This does not appear to be true. Is this a selinux
problem, or did I misunderstand something? To get the database to start I
added the export ORACLE_HOME to /etc/profile. Also when I do a init 6 or
init 0 the oracle service doesn't shutdown i.e. no shutting down oracle

I would doubt this is an SELinux problem. You can always check for avc
messages in /var/log/messages. You can also temporarily turn off enforcing
mode "setenforce 0", then try it. If it is still broken while SELinux is
in permissive mode, it is most likely not an SELinux problem.
SELinux is not causing the environmnet variable problem I discribed. I will
leave the ORACLE_HOME in /etc/profile and call it done.
On a side note, shouldn't selinux messages go into a /var/log/selinux file
instead of messages?
Thanks,
