I'm stumped.

I run a Java app called Solr, which does search indexing. My solr server creates the index, then I have a bunch of solr clients that rsync that index over.

The rsync itself is fine, that works. The problem is it won't write to the appropriate logfile, which is:
/opt/solr/logs/rsyncd.log

/opt/solr/logs is a symlink to /var/log/store.

Here's how it looks:

==

[root@solr:~]# ls -l /opt/solr/
lrwxrwxrwx  1 tomcat tomcat   14 Apr 29 13:52 logs -> /var/log/store

[root@solr:~]# ls -ldZ /opt/solr/logs/
drwxr-xr-x  tomcat tomcat user_u:object_r:var_log_t /opt/solr/logs/

[root@solr:~]# ls -ldZ /var/log/store
drwxr-xr-x  tomcat tomcat user_u:object_r:var_log_t /var/log/store

[root@solr:~]# ls -Z /opt/solr/logs/rsyncd.log
-rw-rw-rw- tomcat tomcat user_u:object_r:var_log_t /var/log/store/rsyncd.log

==

Note that the mode is 666 on the rsyncd.log. When a client tries to connect, though, I get, in /var/log/messages:

Jun 24 10:15:02 solr rsyncd[19355]: rsync: failed to open log-file /opt/solr/logs/rsyncd.log: Permission denied (13)

But there are no avc denials (no, I don't have audit package installed, so all avc messages go to /var/log/messages -- I do get avc denials for other things).

So, at first, I didn't think it was selinux-related, and tried to troubleshoot general unix permissions. But got nowhere.

Then I noticed... when I put selinux in permissive mode, it works -- rsyncd properly logs to the above file. When I set it back to enforcing, I get the above error in /var/log/messages and nothing in the rsyncd.log, but no avc denials either.


Any ideas?

Turn off the dontaudit rules:
# semodule -DB

You should then see the AVCs and be able to generate the policy module you need.

You can then turn back on the dontaduit rules:
# semodule -B
