Also, cron.hourly (and others?) can't run.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2005-01-31 20:36:55 UTC
Did you do a service crond restart after updating policy?



Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2005-01-31 20:43:19 UTC
Oops never mind.  Please try out selinux-policy-targeted-1.21.5-4

Comment 4 Orion Poplawski 2005-01-31 21:13:08 UTC
Still getting it:

Jan 31 14:10:01 hawk crond(pam_unix)[4205]: session opened for user root by (uid=0)
Jan 31 14:10:01 hawk kernel: audit(1107205801.774:0): avc:  denied  { transition
} for  pid=4206 exe=/usr/sbin/crond path=/bin/bash dev=dm-1 ino=47140
scontext=root:system_r:crond_t tcontext=system_u:system_r:unconfined_t
tclass=process
Jan 31 14:10:01 hawk crond(pam_unix)[4205]: session closed for user root

I restarted the crond ervice after applying the update.  Anything else to be done?

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2005-01-31 21:25:09 UTC
That is weird.  I am running

rpm -q selinux-policy-targeted
selinux-policy-targeted-1.21.5-4

Jan 31 16:20:01 localhost crond(pam_unix)[18904]: session opened for user root
by (uid=0)
Jan 31 16:20:01 localhost crond(pam_unix)[18905]: session opened for user root
by (uid=0)
Jan 31 16:20:01 localhost crond(pam_unix)[18904]: session closed for user root
Jan 31 16:20:02 localhost crond(pam_unix)[18905]: session closed for user root

I am not seeing this at all anymore.  


Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2005-01-31 21:48:49 UTC
selinux-policy-targeted-1.21.5-5 has this fix.

Comment 7 Orion Poplawski 2005-02-01 17:44:22 UTC
After a reinstall, this looks good.
