senmail, /etc/aliases.db ....
by Tom London
Running Rawhide, targeted/enforcing.
Notice this in /var/log/audit/audit.log:
type=AVC msg=audit(1188316403.485:16): avc: denied { create } for
pid=2704 comm="newaliases" name="aliases.db"

Looks like it is occurring when sendmail gets started during boot.
Running /usr/bin/newalises manually at root console works with no
AVCs, but leaves /etc/aliases.db with the 'wrong' label:
[root@localhost ~]# ls -Zl /etc/alia*
-rw-r--r-- 1 system_u:object_r:etc_aliases_t root root 1512
2005-04-25 09:48 /etc/aliases
-rw-r----- 1 system_u:object_r:etc_t root smmsp 12288
2007-08-28 10:27 /etc/aliases.db
[root@localhost ~]# restorecon -v /etc/alias*
restorecon reset /etc/aliases.db context
system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:etc_aliases_t:s0
[root@localhost ~]#
Should /etc/init.d/sendmail fix the label after running newalises?

Some questions about /dev/twe* and selinux context
by Ali Nebi
Hi all,
i have some problems with selinux context about /dev/twe*
I get these messages:
Aug 28 08:41:19 w3host kernel: audit(1188283279.352:167): avc: denied

scontext=system_u:system_r:fsdaemon
_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 tclass=chr_file
I know that /dev/twe* must have fixed_disk_device_t context.
When i fix it with chcon -t fixed_disk_device_t /dev/twe* the avc stop
to audit for this. Everything works ok. When i restarted the system, the
context changed to device_t again. I wrote in rc.local the command to
change cotentext, but it returned me "no such file or directory". I know
that twe* devices are created automatically on boot, so let's say that
this is no problem. I decided to use semanage to add rule for /dev/twe*
like this:
/usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -f -c -t fixed_disk_device_t "/dev/twe*"
After reboot, the result was the same, the context is device_t :(
When i used restorecon command:
/sbin/restorecon /dev/twe*
it changed the context to fixed_disk_device_t
So the questions are:
1. Where i make mistake
2. What can i do to fix this problem ?

/dev/shm - tmpfs_t or device_t ?
by Tom London
Running latest Rawhide, targeted/enforcing.
I notice that if I run 'restorecon -v -R -n /dev' I get:
[root@localhost ~]# restorecon -v -R -n /dev
restorecon reset /dev/shm context
system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0->system_u:object_r:device_t:s0
[root@localhost ~]#
but
[root@localhost ~]# ls -ldZ /dev/shm
drwxrwxrwt root root system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t /dev/shm
[root@localhost ~]#
Seems funny to me.... Is that right?

sendmail->nscd log noise?
by Jason L Tibbitts III
These keep appearing in my logs and logwatch spams me about it daily.
Does it actually indicate any type of problem? If not, I guess this
merits a ticket against logwatch.

ANN: SELinux Policy IDE (SLIDE) version 1.2
by David Sugar
Version 1.2 of the SELinux Policy IDE (SLIDE) from Tresys Technology is
now available for download from the Tresys Open source website at
http://oss.tresys.com.
SLIDE is an Eclipse plug-in that integrates with the SELinux Reference
Policy to provide a development environment for building SELinux policy.
SLIDE Features:
* A graphical user interface for policy development, including policy
syntax highlighting, context suggestions, and integrated compilation.
* Integration with SELinux Reference Policy, including quick lookup and
documentation for interfaces and macros.
* Wizards and easy to use templates to automate common tasks from
creating a new SELinux policy to adding an interface into an existing
module.
* Integrated remote policy installation and audit log monitoring, to
facilitate policy testing.
* Seamless integration with the power of standard Eclipse.
Version 1.2 highlights:
* Graphical interface for network configuration via corenetwork.
* Added auto completion, context help, and tool tip descriptions for
Reference Policy macros, as well as including macros in the interface
view and showing their definitions in the declaration view.
* Improved documentation on the open source web site.
* Updates to work with SETools version 3.3.
* Fixed problems with the Console output.
* Bugs fixed with undo/redo when toggling commenting on numerous lines
of policy.
If you would like to contribute, currently the best help would be to
test and provide feedback on the SLIDE plugin and SLIDE Remote.
