Postfix/mailman problem
by Eric Smith
I've got an FC4 x86_64 system with the targeted policy. I'm only
just beginning to understand SELinux, after reading the O'Reilly book.
I'm trying to use the Postfix MTA with GNU Mailman, using the
postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py script. I put the script in
/usr/lib/mailman/bin, but it fails. /var/log/maillog says:
Mar 1 17:26:34 donnybrook pipe[10056]: fatal: pipe_comand: execvp
/usr/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py: Permission denied
Mar 1 17:26:35 donnybrook postfix/pipe[10055]: 4D0F150087:

status=bounced (Command died with status 1:
"/usr/lib/mailman/bin/postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py")
/var/log/audit/audit.log says:
type=AVC msg=audit(1141262794.346:48506): avc: denied { execute } for
pid=10056 comm="pipe" name="postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py" dev=dm-6 ino=786433
scontext=system_u:system_r:postfix_pipe_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:mailman_queue_exec_t tclass=file
As root, I tried:
% chcon -u system_u -r system_r -t postfix_pipe_t postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py
chcon: failed to change context of postfix-to-mailman-2.1.py to
system_u:system_r:postfix_pipe_t: Permission denied
Why can't I do that, or what should I do instead to make this work?
Thanks!

How to allow vsftpd to listen on other ports?
by Dawid Gajownik
Hi!
I wanted vsftpd to listen on 750 or 777 port. SELinux does not like this
type=AVC msg=audit(1141840161.184:107): avc: denied { name_bind } for
pid=5352 comm="vsftpd" src=777 scontext=root:system_r:ftpd_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:reserved_port_t tclass=tcp_socket
type=AVC msg=audit(1141840470.444:114): avc: denied { name_bind } for
pid=5495 comm="vsftpd" src=750 scontext=root:system_r:ftpd_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:kerberos_port_t tclass=tcp_socket
I've downloaded selinux-policy-targeted-sources rpm and wanted to add
this line:
portcon tcp 750 system_u:object_r:ftp_port_t
The problem is that I don't know where should it be placed. It does not
work in domains/misc/local.te -- `make load' fails ;-)
OS: FC4
selinux-policy-targeted-sources: 1.27.1-2.22

Dawid

enableaudit.pp ...
by Tom London
Running latest targeted policy.
/usr/share/selinux/targeted/base.pp and enableaudit.pp appear to be identical.
That right? If so, I must not understand on how to use.
So, how do I load a policy with all the 'dontaudit' rules removed?

Modifying local policy onn RHEL 4
by Florian Lengyel
Is this the appropriate list to ask about modifying local Selinux policies
on Red Hate Enterprise Linux 4? If it is, can someone inform me what i need
to download in order to modify the local Selinux policy? The source and
tools to do this don't seem to be included in my installation (following the
online Red Hat documentation); perhaps there are appropriate rpms to
download in up2date--I don't know what they are, and they do not seem to be
mentioned in the online documentation.
If this is not the appropriate list, please let me know.
Thanks,

Unable to create swapfiles....
by Dan Thurman
Hi Daniel J Walsh,
I have read the previous posts regarding creating swapfiles
and SELinux refuses to allow it.
The steps to create a swapfile is:
1) dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=<SWAP-SIZE>
1.5) New step: chcon -t swapfile_t /swapfile
2) mkswap /swapfile
3) swapon /swapfile
4) Add entry to fstab
All of this is per Redhat's documention - which is old.
But with the inclusion of SELinux, a new security context
of swapfile_t was added, and supposedly added to mkswap
as well - and I have have the latest YUM updates since I am
testing with FC5-T3 and I have done (1.5) above but when doing
(2) I get a "relabel" denial with the message:
> mkswap /swapfile
mkswap: unable to relabel /swapfile to swapfile_t: Permission denied
/var/log/audit/audit.log shows:
type=AVC msg=audit(1141837284.182:194): avc: denied { ioctl } for pid=3948 comm="mkswap" name="swapfile" dev=hda7 ino=107915 scontext=root:system_r:fsadm_t:s0-s0:c0.c255 tcontext=root:object_r:swapfile_t:s0 tclass=file

I think it comes from /usr/sbin/pm-powersave:
if [ ! -w "/proc/sys/vm/" ] ; then
# Use the raw kernel sysfs interface
echo "You do not have write access to /proc/sys/vm/"
exit 1
fi
/proc/sys/vm appers to not want to be written:
[tbl@localhost vm]$ ls -ldZ /proc/sys/vm
dr-xr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:sysctl_vm_t /proc/sys/vm
[tbl@localhost vm]$
Should this be a 'dontaudit'? E.g.:
dontaudit hald_t sysctl_vm_t:dir write;

If I am reading these correctly, it appears that selinux is stopping sudo from
executing the commands. Is there a way to get this to work without making the
system insecure. The script is restricted to internal use but there are
publicly accessible websites hosted on the machine.

Tom

It looks like these errors are because of an older version of eclipse. Both
tools require Eclipse 3.1.
On another note, I updated the Tresys Technology website to include some
installation instructions for the CDS Framework IDE. Also I posted a newer
tarball for the CDS tool that fixes some issues we found yesterday. Please
get the newer release and try that one.
