RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Rich Megginson 2013-09-26 15:13:11 UTC

Description of problem:

The 389-ds-base (dirsrv) needs to create and use a subdirectory of /dev/shm e.g. /dev/shm/slapd-hostname

We are able to workaround the problem by creating a policy module like this:

policy_module(dirsrv_tmpfs,1.0.0)
type dirsrv_t;
type tmpfs_t;
allow dirsrv_t tmpfs_t:dir create;

semanage -i dirsrv_tmpfs.pp

but it would be better if this were part of the base OS policy

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.4/6.5

We need to add additional rules for dirsrv_tmpfs_t.

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2013-09-26 15:19:05 UTC

Added to Fedora.

    Allow dirsrv to create dirs in /dev/shm with dirsrv_tmpfs label

Comment 3 Milos Malik 2013-09-27 07:17:45 UTC

Hi Rich, are you willing to test the scenario once the new selinux-policy packages become available?

Yes.

Comment 6 Miroslav Grepl 2013-10-30 09:43:29 UTC

More fixes have been added during RHEL6.5 cycle related to dirsrv and this bug should be fixed. If no, please re-open the bug and it will be addressed in RHEL6.6.
