Gupta, You should share your selinux logs. They are under /var/log/audit directory. Trigger the problem again and share the last couple of hundred lines. Before that though, find the directory openjdk installed and install sun java there. Don't think using root home directory is a good idea and selinux may be whining because of that. Or just install in /usr/local/bin William Hello all, Greeting and happy new year to all. I am trying to sandbox a java application using selinux sandbox. System details: Redhat 6 | x86_64 | no x server install | jdk7 from oracle tar.gz version | cgred and cgconfig are stop The cmd (run as root) sandbox /root/jdk/bin/java -version above cmd failed with /root/jdk/bin/java: error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Digging, revealed that "libjli.so" is RPATH shared library. so i thought ok since sandbox is copying my bin/java to /tmp/sandbox_random therefore a hardcode path will not be found. Then i change the RPATH using "chrpath" utility and changed it to a hardcode value But still it showed the same error. Then i used the -M -i option of sandbox and ran following command (i included all the .so file it complaint about): sandbox -M -i /root/jdk/lib/amd64/jli/libjli.so -i /root/jdk/jre/lib/amd64/libjava.so -i /root/jdk/jre/lib/amd64/jvm.cfg -i /root/jdk/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so -i /root/jdk/jre/lib/amd64/libverify.so -i /root/jdk/jre/lib/amd64/libzip.so /root/jdk/bin/java -version Following command resulted in this error: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: INFO: os::commit_memory(0x00007fb039000000, 2555904, 1) failed; error='Permission denied' (errno=13) # # There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue. # Native memory allocation (malloc) failed to allocate 2555904 bytes for committing reserved memory. # An error report file with more information is saved as: # /root/hs_err_pid1270.log Now i used the strace to see what happened and strace printed(small section) clone(child_stack=0, flags=CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID|CLONE_CHILD_SETTID|SIGCHLD, child_tidptr=0x7fb15b6359d0) = 8268 close(4) = 0 read(3, "", 1048576) = 0 close(3) = 0 wait4(8268, Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: INFO: os::commit_memory(0x00007f4579000000, 2555904, 1) failed; error='Permission denied' (errno=13) I have enough space for sure Can you guys please indicate what might be wrong ? -- selinux mailing list selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinux
