Are the likewise executable files in their proper location: /usr/sbin/dcerpcd -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:dcerpcd_exec_t,s0) /usr/sbin/eventlogd -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:eventlogd_exec_t,s0) /usr/sbin/lsassd -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:lsassd_exec_t,s0) /usr/sbin/lwiod -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:lwiod_exec_t,s0) /usr/sbin/lwregd -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:lwregd_exec_t,s0) /usr/sbin/lwsmd -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:lwsmd_exec_t,s0) /usr/sbin/netlogond -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:netlogond_exec_t,s0) /usr/sbin/srvsvcd -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:srvsvcd_exec_t,s0) > I'd like to change the policy and tell it that services running in > either initrc_t or unconfined_t domains should create the file /var/ > lib/likewise/.lsassd with type lsassd_var_socket_t.

That is not possible but if you label /var/lib/likewise: semanage fcontext -a -t likewise_var_lib_t "/var/lib/likewise(/.*)?" And configure restorecond to watch /var/lib/likewise then the file will be reset to the proper type when restorecond notices that its mislabeled. The policy for likewise was written by the people of likewise. I helped with it a bit. I think we collaborated on the selinux maillist but i could not find the thread about it in short noticed. (i was looking for the e-mail address of the likewise policy author so that i can ask him to see if the policy is still up-to-date) It may be that the policy is not maintained optimally. Maybe you can help us revisit it? > Thanks, > Maria > -- > selinux mailing list > selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinux -- selinux mailing list selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinux
