Product : Fedora Core 6
Name : setroubleshoot
Version : 1.7.1
Release : 1.fc6
Summary : Helps troubleshoot SELinux problems
Description :
Provides tools to help diagnose SELinux problems. When AVC messages
are generated an alert can be generated that will give information
about the problem and help track its resolution. Alerts can be configured
to user preference. The same tools can be run on existing log files.

* dispatcher.py: rework how audit messages injected into the
system and processed. Much of this work was in support of log file
scanning which should be coupled to the exact same processing code
as audit messages arriving from the audit socket. In essence log
file scanning synthesizes an audit message and we inject it into
the system the same way socket messages are injected. This was
also an excellent moment correctly handle out of order audit
messages, something we were not able to handle previously. This
may have been contributing to splitting what should have been a
single alert into two or more separate alerts because we didn't
recongize the incoming audit events as a single event. Correctly
assembling out of order messages introduced a fair amount of extra
complexity as we now maintain a cache of recent audit events, this
is fully documented in dispatcher.py
* Turn notifications back on by default.
- Karl MacMillan

* Thu Aug 24 2006 John Dennis <jdennis at redhat.com> - 0.35-1
- add sorting on category column and seen column in browser,
fix reference to my_draw() in print function.
- make browser window hidden by default so it does not flash
when it's first realized, connect to the "realize" signal to
initially position the vpane, add signal handlers to track
when the browser is visible, the presentation of the status
icon now checks if the browser is visible, the status icon is
not presented if the browser is already displayed.
* Tue Aug 22 2006 Dan Walsh <dwalsh at redhat.com> - 0.34-1
- Standardize on the browser. remove alert window
- John Dennis Changes
* remove all vestiges of popup alert, now browser is the only
UI game in town
* restore the automatic updating of the browser window which had
been a regression, the AlertClient class now emits signals which
the GUI classes can connect to receive signals from the fault server,
also fix the "mark seen" regression
* browser.py: restore mark_seen timeout
* Tue Aug 22 2006 Dan Walsh <dwalsh at redhat.com> - 0.33-1
- Spell check plugins
- fix dbus instantiation
* Tue Aug 22 2006 Dan Walsh <dwalsh at redhat.com> - 0.32-1
- Add avc_syslog to syslog translated avc message
- Fix submitbug button
- John Dennis Changes
* fix signature inflation, all data attached to a signature is now
encapsulated in a SEFaultSignatureInfo (siginfo) class. The GUI no
longer reaches into a signature looking for information, it looks
in the siginfo. The Plugin class now defines the method
get_signature() which report() calls to obtain the signature. The
default signature provided by the Plugin class includes the
analysisID, an AVC with just the src & target contexts, and the
object_path. All data accesses and parameters which had been "sig
and solution" are now done via the unified siginfo class. There is
still a bit more work to be done on this but this represents a
reasonble point to checkpoint the code in CVS.
* Tue Aug 22 2006 Dan Walsh <dwalsh at redhat.com> - 0.31-1
- Fix desktop
* Tue Aug 22 2006 John Dennis <jdennis at redhat.com> - 0.30-1
* fix bug #203479, missing requires of audit-libs-python
* add support to sealert to listen on a dbus session signal to display
the gui. This is needed for when the status icon is not visible and
the user wants to see the UI. There is now a seperate program
setroubleshoot_launch_gui which emits the signal.
* Tue Aug 22 2006 Dan Walsh <dwalsh at redhat.com> - 0.29-1
- Add Requires: audit-libs-python
- Add translations
* Mon Aug 21 2006 Dan Walsh <dwalsh at redhat.com> - 0.28-1
- Fix allow_execmem.py file
- Add translations
* Mon Aug 21 2006 John Dennis <jdennis at redhat.com> - 0.27-1
* load_plugins() now catches exceptions when a plugin won't load,
reports the traceback in the log file, and continues with the next
plugin. Previously a bad plugin caused the entire plugin loading
to abort and no plugins were loaded.
* Add "daemon_name" to automake variables, change pid file to match
* turn off "noreplace" on config file till things settle down a bit
* browser.py now validates data, also test for missing column data in the
cell_data function to avoid exceptions.
* add stub for analyzie_logfile() rpc call
* turn off balloon notifications by default in config file,
libnotify is just plain busted at this point :-(
* only the setroubleshootd daemon creates it's log file
under /var/log now, the user app's do it in /tmp, change file
permissions on /var/log/setroubleshoot back to 0644.
* sealert now looks up the username rather than hardcoding it to "foo"
* CamelCase to lowercase_underscore clean up
* Mon Aug 21 2006 Dan Walsh <dwalsh at redhat.com> - 0.26-1

* remove setroubleshoot_dispatcher
* Tue Aug 8 2006 Dan Walsh <dwalsh at redhat.com> - 0.19-1
2006-08-08 Dan Walsh <dwalsh at redhat.com>
* Fix up handling of mls ranges in context
* Cleanup some pychecker errors
2006-08-07 John Dennis <jdennis at redhat.com>
* add first seen, last seen, and report count to alert detail view
* make the seen icon work, if the alert has been displayed more
than N seconds, mark the alert as having been seen by the user
and update the icon is the list view
* change the schema for the xml data; the database now has a version,
there is a local id attached to each signature, the filter list in
the siginfo was replaced by a list of per user data, the per user
data now contains the filter, seen_flag. Modify all the code which
was operating on the filter information to use the new model.
* fix the xml serialization so that booleans can be used as a basic
type and also so that non-string types can be used in element
attributes (e.g. int, bool) and the serialization code will
automatically convert between python types and strings.
* Mon Aug 7 2006 Dan Walsh <dwalsh at redhat.com> - 0.18-1
- Add dispatcher.py
* Sat Aug 5 2006 Dan Walsh <dwalsh at redhat.com> - 0.17-1
- John Dennis <jdennis at redhat.com>
* clean up and rework the timestamp code in util.py so that
time zones are handled properly, there were a number of bugs.
Hopefully it's correct now because timezone handling is a pain.
* change the time format in the browser so all times are displayed
identically, the friendly time relative format was hard to compare.
* modify the plugin 'make install' to delete all existing plugin's
prior to installing the new ones
* add popup menu to status icon to choose between browser and
alert GUI (not fully connected yet). Several bug fixes related
to changing the filter_type from a string to an int.
* add filter selection to bottom pane, change filter_type from
string to integer constant. Enhance how columns are handled.
Get init_combo_box to work. Remove unused RPM and Bugzilla
fields from bottom pane. Modify the default size of the browser
window. Fix missing import in util.py.
* add ability in broswer to sort on columns, initially the report
count column and the last seen date column. The date column now
stores a TimeStamp object instead of a string. Add new method
to TimeStamp to return a friendly string relative to the current
time. The date column in the browser now has a cell data function
which invokes the friendly format method of the TimeStamp object.
* add ability fo serialize to/from xml for classes which can
inititialized from strings and serialized as strings (e.g. numbers,
TimeStamps, etc.)
* add count of how many times a signature is reported, the date
when first and last reported, add columns for report count and
last date count to browser.
* checkpoint browser code, list pane and detail pane now working.
* add initial support for browser applet, move some functions which
kept getting reused to util.py
* add reporting of environment to email alert (email alerts still
need work)

* modify SetFilter in server to return errors instead of
throwing an exception. Default the filter list on each alert display.
* minor tweaks to alert queue handling
* fix analyze() parameter list in ftp_is_daemon.py plugin
* sealert now responds to pending alerts more correctly, it shows
how many pending alerts are in the queue, if you filter the pending
alert status is updated, the next alert button will advance you
to the next alert in the queue
* simplify major pieces of sealert by coalescing common code
into subroutines.
