NFS Labels
Hi,
In the nfsd_selinux man page it mentions:
nfsd_ro_t
nfsd_rw_t
...which might give you the impression that those are the labels you
might use for your shares. I tried them and the client could mount the
shares read-write (regardless of the label on the server). Clearly they
don't work or perhaps I'm using them in an unintended way.
After searching the mailing list I found out that, since nfs mainly runs
as a kernel module, SELinux can't control it. Apparently that's also
the reason the read-only and read-write booleans were removed. I'm now
wondering:
Did NFS used to run as a daemon in the past?
Since NFS is practically unconfined, what are the nfsd_ro_t and rw_t
labels for?
Thanks!
