Denials from spamc and webalizer on Centos 5.2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 

After some trouble getting the file-system relabelled - which was eventually solved by Daniel's suggestion to change to a 5.3 preview release of the policy packages - I now have (only) a couple of intractable denials.

One seems to be related to procmail running spamc. The other seems to be webalizer being denied access to squid logs. Here is some representative troubledhooter output:

Summary
SELinux is preventing spamc (procmail_t) "execute" to ./spamc (spamc_exec_t).
Detailed Description
[SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but was permitted due to permissive mode.]

SELinux denied access requested by spamc. It is not expected that this access is required by spamc and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access
Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for ./spamc,

restorecon -v './spamc'

If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report against this package.

I didn't think I was doing anything unusual here - so I am surprised these aren't covered by standard policy. Am I don't something strange - and if so - do I need to write my own local policy. Is there a more standard way to run spamc and/.or webalizer which will prevent these denials?

Thanks

Richard.
