Hi all,

In the process of porting policies from RHEL 6 to 7, I’m having an issue with the shutdown_run interface.

The trivial te file below compiles and loads fine on RHEL 6.7:

policy_module(test, 0.1)

require {

role staff_r;

type staff_t;

}

shutdown_run(staff_t, staff_r)

However, there appears to be a bug in RHEL 7.2, because loading with semodule gives the error: "libsepol.print_missing_requirements: test's global requirements were not met: role shutdown_roles (No such file or directory)"

After looking into this, curiously the interface has moved from /usr/share/selinux/devel/include/admin/shutdown.if (selinux-policy rpm in RHEL 6) to /usr/share/selinux/devel/include/contrib/shutdown.if (selinux-policy-devel rpm in RHEL 7). Should it be in contrib?

There’s also another issue in that shutdown_exec_t is used in the RHEL 7 interface but it no longer exists because the shutdown binary has been replaced with a symlink to systemctl.

Thanks,

Doug
