Hello I get the following error when I try to log in through ssh (even if selinux is in permissive mode!!!): Sep 28 09:01:32 stvlx05.test.ch sshd[12614]: Accepted keyboard-interactive/pam for mat from 131.102.233.127 port 58912 ssh2 Sep 28 09:01:32 stvlx05.test.admin.ch kernel: [60557.252750] type=1400 audit(1285657292.298:286): avc: denied { audit_control } for pid=12614 comm="sshd" capability=30 scontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t tcontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t tclass=capability Sep 28 09:01:32 stvlx05.test.ch sshd[12621]: error: ssh_selinux_getctxbyname: Failed to get default SELinux security context for mat Sep 28 09:01:32 stvlx05.test.ch sshd[12614]: error: ssh_selinux_getctxbyname: Failed to get default SELinux security context for mat Sep 28 09:01:32 stvlx05.test.ch sshd[12614]: error: ssh_selinux_setup_pty: security_compute_relabel: Invalid argument I already went through this post: http://www.nsa.gov/research/selinux/list-archive/0910/30906.shtml but I can't figure out the exact problem. Here is what I've done so far: - Downloaded the latest reference policy from tresys: http://oss.tresys.com/files/refpolicy/refpolicy-2.20100524.tar.bz2 - Compiled and installed it on my sles 11.1 - set selinux into permissive mode: (so far so good.. :)) sestatus SELinux status: enabled SELinuxfs mount: /selinux Current mode: permissive Mode from config file: permissive Policy version: 24 Policy from config file: refpolicy - Add selinux user "mat_u": semanage user -R "staff_r system_r" -P user -a mat_u - Add linux user " mat": useradd mat - Set password for "mat": passwd mat - User mapping: semanage login -s mat_u -a mat - add security context for "mat_u" by copying staff_u's context (don't know if that's needed??!): cp /etc/selinux/refpolicy/contexts/user/staff_u /etc/selinux/refpolicy/contexts/user/mat_u - set boolean for sysadm ssh login to true (don't know if thats needed?!): setsebool ssh_sysadm_login on In other posts I've read something about sepermit.conf and namespace.conf but these files don't exist on my system. What about these files? Do I need them? What's wrong on my system? Why it's not possible to login even if selinux is in permissive mode? Any suggestions? thanks in advance Matthias -- selinux mailing list selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinux
