Greetings; Running selinux in permissive mode, the /var/log/audit/audit.log was filling up with squawks re cron jobs. Seeing an example on how to run audit2allow, I thought I'd try it to see if that would shut the muttering up. [root@coyote ~]# audit2allow -M local -i /var/log/audit/audit.log compilation failed: (unknown source)::ERROR 'syntax error' at token '' on line 6: /usr/bin/checkmodule: error(s) encountered while parsing configuration /usr/bin/checkmodule: loading policy configuration from local.te I can't see anything different about line 6 of the log, but here is a head of that file: type=USER_ACCT msg=audit(1193734801.287:27922): user pid=11880 uid=0 auid=4294967295 msg='PAM: accounting acct=root : exe="/usr/sbin/crond" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=cron res=success)' type=CRED_ACQ msg=audit(1193734801.288:27923): user pid=11880 uid=0 auid=4294967295 msg='PAM: setcred acct=root : exe="/usr/sbin/crond" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=cron res=success)' type=USER_START msg=audit(1193734801.288:27924): user pid=11880 uid=0 auid=4294967295 msg='PAM: session open acct=root : exe="/usr/sbin/crond" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=cron res=success)' type=CRED_DISP msg=audit(1193734801.312:27925): user pid=11880 uid=0 auid=4294967295 msg='PAM: setcred acct=root : exe="/usr/sbin/crond" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=cron res=success)' type=USER_END msg=audit(1193734801.312:27926): user pid=11880 uid=0 auid=4294967295 msg='PAM: session close acct=root : exe="/usr/sbin/crond" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=cron res=success)' type=USER_ACCT msg=audit(1193734861.316:27927): user pid=11969 uid=0 auid=4294967295 msg='PAM: accounting acct=root : exe="/usr/sbin/crond" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=cron res=success)' type=CRED_ACQ msg=audit(1193734861.316:27928): user pid=11969 uid=0 auid=4294967295 msg='PAM: setcred acct=root : exe="/usr/sbin/crond" (hostname=?, addr=?, terminal=cron res=success)' contents of local.te: ------ module local 1.0; EOF ------ The example command line shown above is I assume is correct, is it not? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
