I still have a problem with rsyncd.lock on Fedora 9. The symptoms are that after "a while"--several days perhaps, rsync transfers fail with this message: @ERROR: failed to open lock file rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1296) [receiver=2.6.8] Here is the lock file: -rw------- root root system_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 /var/run/rsyncd.lock AVC messages: type=AVC msg=audit(1214969369.745:4847): avc: denied { lock } for pid=32590 comm="rsync" path="/var/run/rsyncd.lock" dev=dm-3 ino=106537 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:rsync_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1214969379.283:4850): avc: denied { read write } for pid=32594 comm="rsync" name="rsyncd.lock" dev=dm-3 ino=106537 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:rsync_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 tclass=file This policy module fixes the issue: module rsync 1.0; require { type var_run_t; type rsync_t; class file { read write lock }; } #============= rsync_t ============== allow rsync_t var_run_t:file { read write lock }; On Thu, Oct 11, 2007 at 06:01:25PM -0400, Chuck Anderson wrote: > I'm using Fedora Core 6, and trying to start a rsync daemon via > xinetd. > > type=AVC msg=audit(1192132336.713:3464): avc: denied { lock } for > pid=8488 comm="rsync" name="rsyncd.lock" dev=dm-4 ino=2064435 > scontext=user_u:system_r:rsync_t:s0 > tcontext=root:object_r:var_run_t:s0 tclass=file > > type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1192132336.713:3464): arch=40000003 syscall=221 > success=no exit=-13 a0=4 a1=d a2=bff80730 a3=bff80730 items=0 > ppid=8167 pid=8488 auid=10002 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 > sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) comm="rsync" exe="/usr/bin/rsync" > subj=user_u:system_r:rsync_t:s0 key=(null) > type=AVC_PATH msg=audit(1192132336.713:3464): > path="/var/run/rsyncd.lock" -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
