SELinux keeps complaining that the file contexts for log files in /var/log/samba are wrong. All of the files are labeled samba_log_t but it seems to want samba_share_t, is this correct? This is what selinux troubleshooter reports: Summary SELinux is preventing samba (/usr/sbin/smbd) "append" to log.chaucer (samba_log_t). Detailed Description SELinux denied samba access to log.chaucer. If you want to share this directory with samba it has to have a file context label of samba_share_t. If you did not intend to use log.chaucer as a samba repository it could indicate either a bug or it could signal a intrusion attempt. Allowing Access You can alter the file context by executing chcon -R -t samba_share_t log.chaucer The following command will allow this access: chcon -R -t samba_share_t log.chaucer Additional Information Source Context system_u:system_r:smbd_t Target Context system_u:object_r:samba_log_t Target Objects log.chaucer [ file ] Affected RPM Packages samba-3.0.25-2.fc7 [application] Policy RPM selinux-policy-2.6.4-8.fc7 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name plugins.samba_share Host Name chaucer Platform Linux chaucer 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 #1 SMP Wed May 23 22:35:01 EDT 2007 i686 athlon Alert Count 3 First Seen Sun 03 Jun 2007 04:50:41 PM PDT Last Seen Sun 03 Jun 2007 04:50:41 PM PDT Local ID ef44bd9c-87aa-4898-9c3d-bb0a3def2ade Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages avc: denied { append } for comm="smbd" dev=sda2 egid=0 euid=0 exe="/usr/sbin/smbd" exit=-13 fsgid=0 fsuid=0 gid=0 items=0 name="log.chaucer" pid=2945 scontext=system_u:system_r:smbd_t:s0 sgid=0 subj=system_u:system_r:smbd_t:s0 suid=0 tclass=file tcontext=system_u:object_r:samba_log_t:s0 tty=(none) uid=0 -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
