The confined login was configured to initialize with s0:c0. Finally (and I'm really not sure this was the best way), I needed to ensure the administrator could not disable/circumvent selinux so I added the following restriction to the newrole and setenforce binaries (c0.c1023). > > My test user (also in the sudoers file) can do administrative functions, cannot access the database files, and cannot disable selinux. Any suggestions on how to improve on what I have done? I would not use MCS for this but instead use TE Also i would leave sysadm_r:sysadm_t a generic admin, so i would probably create a custom dbadm_r role. > > --Stephen > > _______________________________________________ > Selinux mailing list > Selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe, send email to Selinux-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxx. > To get help, send an email containing "help" to Selinux-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx. - -- 02DFF788 4D30 903A 1CF3 B756 FB48 1514 3148 83A2 02DF F788 https://sks-keyservers.net/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x314883A202DFF788 Dominick Grift -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQGcBAEBCgAGBQJWaHZhAAoJENAR6kfG5xmcGeUL/216fJ/2FJjDpW1U/n5BaN13 iUi6v5dH1RrMgaiY4poCJ7rrTn3Wpof7/KwMWjqjxsck9osmCrDvjBPwJuDwzbMe lTUgi1uvcc10TAncWZgnNcf8Tut+TUeOGGIoQ2r7JZNZ5gK/xmNVdWexl8WPydcq eS/vPtglah50MvQk2NowMHV+MLH2gan10WD0sMjAY/H/jq0gLQat4MyTbjQvhPWU qQehPmy9O7rD2Vz71C801B7yQKEq5BJEwU+88a26Nq46qkRvsbTup6jC5fO14MjJ ElOydUKb7kqAkOZLW+QYM9ZI316Qp9CiPsW6AJOe4Mdco9e9x9exPYgdcEI9i9+x JuhmLK2IlfDS98J/6brLRgU8K38YJOc+qaYH1Y5XW3JgAL4djXA+BwhrOg84cgK5 0BY1sC3xwmuvIZuQzAqhtHuM7FaXSaSQemga+oZEeNa8D5PcGxk0aEG+94SQcVg+ Gsy187V9lJ4J+LOQzJYN1kZC082CW+2jBYW/SgZGdQ== =EKw1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Selinux mailing list Selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe, send email to Selinux-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.
