Does SETroubleshoot speak to SEBool?

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

 



I am currently trying to tidy up my local modules which have been in
place for a number of years and which have probably been superseded by
more recent policies. I put SE into permissive mode and removed the
relevant local policy module.

One resulting denial suggested allowing access with:
setsebool -P spamd_enable_home_dirs=1

This surprised me because I thought I had this set. Sure enough:
# getsebool -a | grep spam
spamassassin_can_network --> off
spamd_enable_home_dirs --> on

Surely SETroubleshoot should realise that this bool is already set?

I can of course recreate a local policy module to deal with this denial,
but I just wondered why this came up as a suggested remedy?

The full avc is listed below.

Thank you to all involved in this this great endeavour...

Summary
SELinux is preventing the spamd daemon from reading users' home
directories. 
Detailed Description
[SELinux is in permissive mode, the operation would have been denied but
was permitted due to permissive mode.]

SELinux has denied the spamd daemon access to users' home directories.
Someone is attempting to access your home directories via your spamd
daemon. If you only setup spamd to share non-home directories, this
probably signals a intrusion attempt. 


Allowing Access
If you want spamd to share home directories you need to turn on the
spamd_enable_home_dirs boolean: "setsebool -P spamd_enable_home_dirs=1" 
Fix Command
setsebool -P spamd_enable_home_dirs=1
