Additional info:
This is a good opportunity to write an SELinux policy for ejabberd. If we do
this, we can stop running it with /usr/bin/bash in the systemd unit.

[Bug 1429126] The SELinux policy is matching ejabberdctl as rabbitmq_t and

--- Comment #3 from Randy Barlow <randy(a)electronsweatshop.com> ---
As noted in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1429126, I have written
a new SELinux policy and submitted it to the fedora selinux-policy-contrib
module:
https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy-contrib/pull/8
https://github.com/fedora-selinux/selinux-policy-contrib/pull/7
Once that is accepted, merged, and released into Fedora 26+, we will also need
to adjust a few things on the ejabberd side to be compliant.
For one, I wasn't able to get ejabberd working with policykit and SELinux
enforcing, so I may drop the policy kit patch. It would fail with this error
message:
ejabberdctl[22397]: Refusing to render service to dead parents.
Secondly, we no longer need to use /bin/bash to launch ejabberdctl in the unit
file, and we also cannot use PrivateDevices=true because that will prevent the
domain transition from being allowed.
Because we have to wait on the pull requests, I'm going to attach a git diff of
what I have in my checkout right now here. This git diff isn't quite what we'll
want, because it makes an ejabberd-selinux subpackage (which I used for testing
purposes while developing the policy), but it has some of the changes we'll
need.

Is this still a thing or is this fixed?
I'm still getting this in my audit.log when trying to start ejabberd:

--- Comment #6 from Randy Barlow <randy(a)electronsweatshop.com> ---
Hi Jonas!
I don't know a way to know if my pull requests have made it into Fedora 26 yet,
but I suppose we can try to do the remaining work that is needed now. A patch
for the ejabberd package is needed so that it runs as ejabberd_t instead of as
init_t. I assume you are on F26, F27, or F28? F25 didn't have any SELinux
issues I am aware of, since init_t was more permissive in that release (unless
that has changed - I run my ejabberd server on F26 so that is the one I'm most
familiar with).

Yes, it is F26. On F25 it worked here, too. How did you get it working on F26
without disabling SELinux?

--- Comment #8 from Randy Barlow <randy(a)electronsweatshop.com> ---
I've got my server manually patched with parts of the patch I attached[0] on
this ticket, as well as a manually installed version of the selinux policies.
Assuming my selinux patches have been released to F26 (which again, I don't
know how to verify other than just trying it?), there are two things you can do
manually that I think will get you running:
0) Edit the service file (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ejabberd.service) to do what
I did in the patch[0]. This will get ejabberd to run as ejabberd_t instead of
init_t, since it won't launch as bash anymore.
1) Unapply the policykit patch to /usr/bin/ejabberdctl, which basically means
changing the shebang line back to /usr/bin/bash. I wasn't able to get ejabberd
working with polkit *and* SELinux. I am on the fence about the value of
policykit for ejabberd anyway, when you can use sudo to grant access to users.
Hopefully I will find some non-dayjob time soon to do the above to the real
package so we can be back in business. I also need to finish updating ejabberd
to the newer release in rawhide...

It doesn't seem as if the patches are included - I tried the two steps you
described and ejabberd still doesn't start here, messages in audit.log are the
same. When I've time I might try to manually install SELinux policies.

--- Comment #10 from Randy Barlow <randy(a)electronsweatshop.com> ---
That's disappointing news. I actually did think of a good test you can try to
be sure. If you have the policy I wrote, you should see something like this:
$ sudo semodule -l | grep ejabberd
ejabberd
If you don't see any output, we need to see if we can get the selinux-policy
maintainers to release my patches for F26. I've also considered pulling those
policies out of the selinux package and providing my own package, but the
problem is that ejabberd gets matched by the rabbitmq policy unless my patch is
in there so I can't do that on my own either.

Strange. When issuing the command I get the correct output. Is it possible to
see which rules are applied in the ejabbered policy? Or maybe I'm facing an
other problem eg. wrong labeled filesystem. It was an upgrade from F25 where
everything went fine.

Jonas,
I forgot to tell you a step that would matter - after you edit the systemd unit
file, you need to tell systemd to reload the daemon:
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Alternatively, you can reboot.
If you do that, does it help?

Now I got it running! The problem was the ejabberd_http module which is still
blocked by SELinux (by preventing opening port 5281). This showed up in
ejabberd's crash. log:
@ejabberd_listener:socket_error:580 Failed to open socket:
{5281,ejabberd_http,[inet,{ip,{0,0,0,0}}]}
Reason: permission denied
After disabling ejabberd_http in ejabberd.yml ejabberd started again. Ok, maybe
I can get a workaround for this tomorrow.

Yes, we need that. I added it manually with
semanage port -a -t jabber_client_port_t -p tcp 5281
After that ejabberd works with ejabberd_http! Not sure how to create a rule for
selinux-policy though.

running under the correct SELinux context. I've filed a new issue for you about
port 5281, against the selinux-policy-targeted package:

Possibly related to this issue, even though I have SELinux disabled: ejabberd
can't do PAM auth when PrivateDevices=true is present in ejabberd.service.
ejabberd runs epam as ejabberd user instead of root user when
PrivateDevices=true is present, so epam can't access /etc/shadow, etc files to
do auth. Disabling PrivateDevices=true and making epam setuid root was the
only workaround I found that worked.
