Why isn't this file in /var/log/openvpn? Because in the openvpn Setup guide and sample config server.conf is located in /etc/openvpn/ and it only specifies the path openvpn-status.log (in the dir) I suppose this is good for platform independent packaging, but should probably be changed for the .rpm This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. This issue has been discussed upstream, and we're slowly moving into changing the documentation and recommendations. http://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/479 Closing this as WONTFIX, and a proper and better fix will come from upstream at some point in the future. |
Description of problem: bootin up SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/openvpn from 'write' accesses on the file /etc/openvpn/openvpn-status.log. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that openvpn should be allowed write access on the openvpn-status.log file by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # grep openvpn /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 Target Context unconfined_u:object_r:openvpn_etc_t:s0 Target Objects /etc/openvpn/openvpn-status.log [ file ] Source openvpn Source Path /usr/sbin/openvpn Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages openvpn-2.3.2-1.fc19.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-73.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 11 19:39:38 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 32 First Seen 2013-08-26 18:05:02 SAST Last Seen 2013-08-28 12:22:34 SAST Local ID 2ed9c77d-53d7-40e8-b1ed-2383c6a5d726 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1377685354.529:50): avc: denied { write } for pid=1060 comm="openvpn" name="openvpn-status.log" dev="dm-0" ino=1840937 scontext=system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:openvpn_etc_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1377685354.529:50): arch=x86_64 syscall=access success=no exit=EACCES a0=7fe2561f1a18 a1=2 a2=7fe253d54788 a3=7fe253a22cb0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=1060 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=openvpn exe=/usr/sbin/openvpn subj=system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: openvpn,openvpn_t,openvpn_etc_t,file,write Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.5 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport
