Hi, This is Centos 5.3 fully updated. Im getting the following error from setroubleshoot SELinux is preventing samba (smbd) "unlink" to ./log.cs244-34.old (samba_log_t). when samba tries to rotate the log files. Running sealert I get the following ( edited ) Summary: SELinux is preventing samba (smbd) "unlink" to ./log.cs244-24.old (samba_log_t). Detailed Description: SELinux denied samba access to ./log.cs244-24.old. If you want to share this directory with samba it has to have a file context label of samba_share_t. If ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ you did not intend to use ./log.cs244-24.old as a samba repository it could indicate either a bug or it could signal a intrusion attempt. Allowing Access: You can alter the file context by executing chcon -R -t samba_share_t './log.cs244-24.old' You must also change the default file context files on the system in order to preserve them even on a full relabel. "semanage fcontext -a -t samba_share_t './log.cs244-24.old'" The following command will allow this access: chcon -R -t samba_share_t './log.cs244-24.old' Additional Information: Source Context root:system_r:smbd_t Target Context root:object_r:samba_log_t Target Objects ./log.cs244-24.old [ file ] Source smbd Source Path /usr/sbin/smbd Port <Unknown> Host janus.x.y.z Source RPM Packages samba-3.0.33-3.7.el5_3.1 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-2.4.6-203.el5 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name samba_share Host Name janus.x.y.z Platform Linux janus.x.y.z 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 #1 SMP Mon Aug 24 08:21:56 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 53 First Seen Fri Sep 25 15:54:24 2009 Last Seen Tue Sep 29 15:55:25 2009 Local ID e4426abc-3b0b-4df2-a380-3f0fba344c63 Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages host=janus.x.y.z type=AVC msg=audit(1254236125.438:70641): avc: denied { unlink } for pid=27420 comm="smbd" name="log.cs244-24.old" dev=sda5 ino=164076 scontext=root:system_r:smbd_t:s0 tcontext=root:object_r:samba_log_t:s0 tclass=file host=janus.x.y.z type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1254236125.438:70641): arch=c000003e syscall=82 success=no exit=-13 a0=2b1b457b5220 a1=7fffa9a7ba90 a2=1f a3=0 items=0 ppid=3787 pid=27420 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=1675 comm="smbd" exe="/usr/sbin/smbd" subj=root:system_r:smbd_t:s0 key=(null) log.cs244-24.old is a file not a directory and it's located in the /var/log/samba directory with permissions system_u:object_r:samba_log_t samba Any ideas, Tony -- Dept. of Comp.
