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.
A little bit more information that might help solve this...
If I remove the symlink, and /opt/solr/bin/rsyncd-start runs
(which basically starts rsyncd), then rsyncd can write to
/opt/solr/logs/rsyncd.log with no problems.
If I put the symlink back in (to /var/log/store), then it
fails (again, with no AVC messages).
The only difference I can see between /opt/solr/logs (as a
directory) and /var/log/store is the default contexts, for
/opt/solr/logs, it's root:object_r:usr_t, for /var/log/store
it's root:object_r:var_log_t
When I put the symlink back, I tried changing the context of
/var/log/store to root:object_r:usr_t to match
/opt/solr/logs, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
Max, a list member, suggested offline that it might have to
do with type_transition, which does seem to make sense.
I tried both:
type_transition rsync_t var_log_t : file rsync_log_t;
and
type_transition rsync_t var_log_t : file usr_t;
But neither worked (I have all the appropriate allows for
those contexts).
Am I going down the right path here (type_transition)? Or
does anyone else have a suggestion in terms of how the
symlink can be used?
Can you try this policy module:
::::::::::::::
solr.fc
::::::::::::::
/var/log/store(/.*)? gen_context(system_u:object_r:rsync_log_t,s0)
==
# semanage fcontext -a -t rsync_log_t "/var/log/store(/.*)?"
libsepol.context_from_record: type rsync_log_t is not defined
libsepol.context_from_record: could not create context structure
libsemanage.validate_handler: invalid context
system_u:object_r:rsync_log_t:s0 specified for
/var/log/store(/.*)? [all files]
libsemanage.dbase_llist_iterate: could not iterate over records
/usr/sbin/semanage: Could not add file context for
/var/log/store(/.*)?
==
It seems rsync_log_t is not defined. Can I somehow do this
without having rsync_log_t?
It works fine when I don't use a symlink, so I assume
rsync_log_t is not necessary for this to work.
But I need the symlink because I need the files to be stored
in /var/log/store, as opposed to /opt/solr/logs.
