Using kmotionApache.te The results I got when doing the above on my Desktop space: ======================================= $ make -f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile kmotionApache.pp find: `Falstad': No such file or directory find: `site': No such file or directory Compiling targeted kmotionApache module /usr/bin/checkmodule: loading policy configuration from tmp/kmotionApache.tmp /usr/bin/checkmodule: policy configuration loaded /usr/bin/checkmodule: writing binary representation (version 10) to tmp/kmotionApache.mod Creating targeted kmotionApache.pp policy package rm tmp/kmotionApache.mod.fc tmp/kmotionApache.mod ======================================= These files were created: + kmotionApache.if (0 length file) + kmotionApache.fc (0 length file) + kmotionApache.pp (binary file) So at this point, I do not want to proceed until I am certain that I am getting the right results.... I cannot check out kmotionApache.pp since it is a binary file... > sudo semodule myapache.pp > > service httpd stop > rm -rf /dev/shm/kmotion_ramdisk > service httpd start > > If you would implement that policy then httpd_t would be allowed to > create dirs and files in /dev/shm and it would create them with type > httpd_tmpfs_t automatically. -- selinux mailing list selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinux
