I would advise you to install setroubleshoot which should help you with other selinux errors.

selinux policy change yields unbootable initrd
by Will Woods 19 Mar '07

19 Mar '07

(See my other mail on the subject here: http://redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2007-March/msg00295.html ) Something in selinux-policy-2.5.8-4.fc7 (and I think -3 as well) is denying ldconfig permission to create symlinks in /tmp. mkinitrd uses ldconfig to set up the symlinks in the initrd it creates (in a temp dir under /tmp), so then nash won't load (missing ld-linux.so.2), so your system won't boot. Here's the relevant info, triggered when installing a new kernel (which runs mkinitrd): avc: denied { create } for comm="ldconfig" egid=0 euid=0 exe="/sbin/ldconfig" exit=-13 fsgid=0 fsuid=0 gid=0 items=0 name="ld-linux.so.2" pid=4613 scontext=user_u:system_r:ldconfig_t:s0 sgid=0 subj=user_u:system_r:ldconfig_t:s0 suid=0 tclass=lnk_file tcontext=user_u:object_r:rpm_script_tmp_t:s0 tty=(none) uid=0 Hope this helps, -w

So these were valid messages that I needed to see... Paul.

Making a python/shell script run in httpd_t (or some other domain)
by Forrest Taylor 12 Mar '07

12 Mar '07

I am trying to make a python script run in the httpd_t domain on RHEL5 RC4. I have assigned the script the httpd_exec_t type. I searched the archives, and I saw an earlier post that stated that I should use the -E option to python: #!/usr/bin/python -E I see the same entry in python scripts like setroubleshootd. However, when I try to run my script (or setroubleshootd, for that matter) directly, it runs in unconfined_t. I have the same problem with shell executables. Any tips? run_init will run as expected, but it does also ask for the root password. I know that I could change the pam.d/ entry, but I don't want to do that at this point. I created an init script that simply calls the executable. This works as expected, as long as the script starts with the interpreter (e.g., #!/bin/bash). If I leave out that line, it does not transition. Any idea why? Thanks, Forrest

Running latest Rawhide, targeted/enforcing. Trying to unmount/eject CD by right-clicking on its icon and selecting 'eject' does the unmount, but fails to eject (produces an error popup).
