1105 fails to boot....
by Tom London
Running strict/enforcing, latest rawhide:
After installing latest packages, relabeling /etc, /bin, /lib, ....
and rebooting, the system produces lots of udev type errors
(cannot remove /dev/.udev_tdb/classSTUFF) and hangs
on 'adding hardware'
Boots (with messages) in permissive mode.
Here are the 'early' AVCs:

Experiences with selinux enabled targetted on Fedora Core 3
by Richard E Miles
In order to become more familiar with the selinux capabilities I did the
following:
Started selinux in permissive mode for targetted. I recieved warnings for the
following services:
portmap, ntpd, and ntpdate.
I then ran fixfiles check. After it ran for quite some time. It did not
report any problems.
So I enabled targetted and rebooted. I then received error warnings for the
same services. The following relevent messages from dmesg follow:
<snip>

Obviously something is amiss. I do not know how to correct these messages for
the services. Does anyone know how the fix this delemma? If not should I
bugzilla it?

Hello all,
I just joined the list. I just downloaded and installed FC3, and
noticed that it had SE-Linux installed by default. I thought okay, so the
NSA now can/will take control of my secure computers. Good, if there's
anyone I'd want controlling them other than I. Then I saw the post about
setools, and saw how they can be used in an enterprise environment. Reminds
me of Active Directory. Cool. This is probably better.
Just kidding bigbrother.
I look forward to learning with you all about SElinux

Re: fc3 - password change problem - syslog and portmapper

Hi!
having problems with selinux for sylog and portmapper. Also cannot change
password with selinux enable.
it is running in targeted mode.
I have been checking with nsa-selinux forum, and some of the ppl recommend
that i ask this forum.

The most likely scenario is that you never labeled your filesystems, or
that you ran with SELinux disabled for some period of time and thus
ended up with some files without security labels. Touch /.autorelabel
and reboot, or run /sbin/fixfiles relabel and reboot. BTW, this kind of
question belongs on fedora-selinux-list, not here, IMHO.

[ANN] Setools 2.0 released
by Karl MacMillan
A new version of Setools is available from http://www.tresys.com/selinux. This
release contains major new features including:
- Sediff: a new tool that allows a user to take two policies and find the
differences including added or removed types, users, roles, booleans and most
importantly type enforcement rules. The semantic difference of a policy is
different from the syntactic difference in that it shows the cumulative effect
of rules rather than doing a line-by-line comparison.
- File contexts database: major improvements were made to the file context
indexing and searching tools including conversion to an on-disk database for
reduced memory usage and integration into Apol.
- Direct file relabel analysis: a new analysis module was added to Apol for
analyzing direct object relabeling.
- Type relationship analysis: a new analysis module was added to Apol for to
facilitate understanding the relationship between two types. This analysis
builds on the rule searching and other analysis in Apol to give the user
convenient access to many queries and anlyses at once.
- Seaudit report: generation of reports was integrated into seaudit. Previously
this was only available as a commandline tool.
More details on the new features can be found at
http://www.tresys.com/selinux/setools_new_noteworthy.html.

squirrelmail / postfix mail lost policy 1.17.30-2.80
by Jeremy Ardley
Hi,
On fedora core 3 - out of the box plus some upgrades. My current setup has
policycoreutils-1.18.1-2.9
selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.80
squirrelmail-1.4.3a-6.FC3
dovecot-0.99.11-1.FC3.4
I can send mail normally from my system except when I use squirrelmail.
The mail is quietly dropped without being sent and a copy is moved into
my sent items folder.
When I check the messages log I see the following avc entries
Feb 24 17:14:46 mail kernel: audit(1109236486.039:0): avc: denied {
read append } for pid=7589 exe=/bin/bash

scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t
tcontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t tclass=unix_ dgram_socket
I have seen previous correspondence regarding similar faults but nothing
I have tried has improved things. Is there a definitive fix I can apply?
Thanks

nis+ support f nscd in targeted pol
by Niki Waibel
hi, i am new to selinux.
i usually extend redhat/fedora linux by nis-utils-1.4.1
to access the NIS+ environment.
i've just found out that this is not configured in selinux
of fc3 for nscd:
===
Feb 23 18:35:14 pcxeon-1 kernel: audit(1109180114.178:0):
avc: denied { read } for pid=20078 exe=/usr/sbin/nscd
name=NIS_COLD_START dev=sda1 ino=737383 scontext=root:system_r:nscd_t
tcontext=root:object_r:var_t tclass=file
===
so i guess that the /var/nis/NIS_COLD_START file has to be made
available to the nscd command.
i tried the following (cheers russell coker):
===
cd /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy
echo "allow nscd_t var_t:file { getattr read };" >> domains/misc/custom.te
make load
===
but now i get:
===
Feb 24 18:03:14 pcxeon-1 kernel: audit(1109264594.241:0):
avc: denied { write } for pid=8888 exe=/usr/sbin/nscd
name=keyservsock dev=sda1 ino=737436 scontext=root:system_r:nscd_t
tcontext=user_u:object_r:var_run_t tclass=sock_file
===
i think that the /var/nis (NIS+) dir should be integrated
into the targeted policy like the /var/yp (NIS) dir...
i've tried to add
/var/nis(/.*)? system_u:object_r:var_nis_t
at several places, without success. (i am simply too new
to all this selinux stuff...).
anyway, using >>allow nscd_t var_t:file { getattr read };<< now nscd
seems to contact the keyserv program of the portmapper:
===
# rpcinfo -p
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100029 1 udp 980 keyserv
100029 2 udp 980 keyserv
100024 1 udp 32772 status
100024 1 tcp 32776 status
100021 1 udp 32778 nlockmgr
100021 3 udp 32778 nlockmgr
100021 4 udp 32778 nlockmgr
100021 1 tcp 33060 nlockmgr
100021 3 tcp 33060 nlockmgr
100021 4 tcp 33060 nlockmgr
===
which seems to have an open socket at:
# ls -la /var/run/keyservsock
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Feb 24 04:58 /var/run/keyservsock

Horde Application Suite and SELinux...
by Tom Lisjac
Hi folks!
I've just installed the php based Horde Application Suite
(http://horde.org) on a Fedora Core 3. Everything is working great
with the targeted policy and SELinux enabled except for a small
problem with spell checking in the Imp webmail app.
The spell checker passes the text to aspell using a temporary file in
/tmp. The targeted policy prohibits "http scripts" from using the /tmp
directory... so aspell runs but doesn't return any results. If I
disable SELinux, it works fine... but since this server will be
running in a hostile environment, I'd rather not. I could also add:
allow httpd_sys_script_t httpd_tmp_t:file { getattr read };
... to the targeted policy, but I'd prefer not modify it or open this
directory up to other less trustworthy scripts that may eventually run
on the system.
I've thought about creating a separate directory and rule for this app
and operation... but I can't help but wonder if there's better
approach for resolving this problem? Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks,
-Tom
