Dominick, thanks for the reply. These AVC messages occur during normal bootup (not from a command line), so it is the boot process which is starting these in the wrong context. OpenSuSE 11.2 is still using System V init startup, but Fedora 12 is using upstart. Perhaps that explains why the recent refpolicy is not starting OpenSuse processes in the right context. Is the current refpolicy known to work in System V init -based systems? -----Original Message----- From: Dominick Grift [mailto:domg472@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 10:22 AM To: Alan Rouse Cc: 'selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: Re: SELinux Policy in OpenSUSE 11.2 On 02/16/2010 03:55 PM, Alan Rouse wrote: le > type=AVC msg=audit(1265904613.689:203): avc: denied { execstack } > for pid=2382 comm="cupsd" scontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t > tcontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t tclass=process type=AVC > msg=audit(1265904613.690:204): avc: denied { execmem } for pid=2382 > comm="cupsd" scontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t > tcontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t tclass=process type=AVC > msg=audit(1265904614.260:205): avc: denied { read write } for > pid=2448 comm="smartd" name="sda" dev=tmpfs ino=1749 > scontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t > tcontext=system_u:object_r:fixed_disk_device_t tclass=blk_file > type=AVC msg=audit(1265904614.260:206): avc: denied { open } for > pid=2448 comm="smartd" name="sda" dev=tmpfs ino=1749 > scontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t > tcontext=system_u:object_r:fixed_disk_device_t tclass=blk_file > type=AVC msg=audit(1265904614.261:207): avc: denied { ioctl } for > pid=2448 comm="smartd" path="/dev/sda" dev=tmpfs ino=1749 > scontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t > tcontext=system_u:object_r:fixed_disk_device_t tclass=blk_file > type=AVC msg=audit(1265904615.964:209): avc: denied { read } for > pid=2337 comm="auditd" scontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t > tcontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t tclass=netlink_audit_socket > type=AVC msg=audit(1265904616.063:212): avc: denied { read } for > pid=308 comm="udevd" scontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t > tcontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t > tclass=netlink_kobject_uevent_socket > type=AVC msg=audit(1265904616.063:213): avc: denied { write } for > pid=308 comm="udevd" scontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t > tcontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t > tclass=netlink_kobject_uevent_socket With regard to the AVC denials above it seems that these services (cupsd, smartd, auditd and udevd) run in the wrong domain. When you restart services manually, you should use "run_init". run_init /etc/rc.d/init.d/cupsd start Besides that some if this might still not work. For example execstack and execmem permissions for cupsd, but start by executing these daemons in the proper domains first. As for dbus i have not noticed any dbus specific AVC denials. It may be the dbus denials are directed to /var/log/messages, /var/log/audit/audit.log or dmesg. > > > -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
