RE: type_transition and sigchild

Hi Grift,

I added these rules, and now it works! And I understood how it works:

###### TYPE TRANSITION FOR lvm_t  #######################
role diskadm_role_r types lvm_t;

type_transition diskadm_role_t lvm_exec_t : process lvm_t;
allow diskadm_role_t lvm_exec_t : file { getattr read open execute};
allow diskadm_role_t lvm_t: process transition;

allow diskadm_role_t lvm_t: process {  siginh rlimitinh sigchld };
allow lvm_t diskadm_role_t: process {sigchld};
allow lvm_t diskadm_role_t: fd use;
#########################################################

Thanks for your support.

Maurizio

sigchld permission is "child terminated" signal. child processes need to be able to send those to the parent process (in this case "lvdisplay(lvm_t)" executed by the user, using the "BASH shell(diskadm_role_t)"

This is a common event when doing a domain transition and therefore it is also part of the domtrans_pattern() pattern. This is a pattern in refpolicy that has all common permissions required to domain transition
