Description of problem: Openvpn cannot be configured to write log files. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-3.12.1-74.4 openvpn-2.3.2-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure /etc/openvpn/server.conf to include the following entry: --- edit begin log /var/log/openvpn/openvpn.log --- edit end (note: /var/log/openvpn.log also fails) 2. Start the openvpn server 3. Check syslog and find the following error: openvpn[####]: Warning: Error redirecting stdout/stderr to --log file: /var/log/openvpn/openvpn.log: Permission denied (errno=13) Actual results: Selinux prevented file write, audit2why shows: type=AVC msg=audit(###): avc: denied { write } for pid=#### comm="openvpn" name="openvpn.log" dev="dm-2" ino=1575681 scontext=system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:openvpn_var_log_t:s0 tclass=file Expected results: Log file may be written. Additional info: Relevant file_context is: /var/log/openvpn.* system_u:object_r:openvpn_var_log_t:s0 So any files prefixed with /var/log/openvpn should be an allowable log file context. Adding the following to the policy #============= openvpn_t ============== allow openvpn_t openvpn_var_log_t:file write; allows the log file to be written as expected, so no other permissions are in error.
