I have added the ability to restart dnsmasq, named, and dhcpcd
Are there any others? What AVC caused you to add
allow cobblerd_t systemd_unit_file_t:service start
allow cobblerd_t systemd_unit_file_t:service status
5644e27aba3fdb51f1c27ac927df3979cfd4df6d has fixes in git. (In reply to Daniel Walsh from comment #1) > I have added the ability to restart dnsmasq, named, and dhcpcd > > Are there any others? tftpd, though there were no related AVCs. At least not after applying the blanket service start/stop policy... There's also somewhat experimental support for storage backends using CouchDB, MongoDB, MySQL, and presumably MariaDB.

A policy targeted to dhcpd would remedy this as well, of course - I assumed that there wasn't a dedicated type for dhcpd as there was for named, but the reality is probably just sloppy custom policy application. commit 6d3d5e6c2ce71116f43af030302cd1967b9576f6

Cobbler has modules to manage multiple services, such as bind and dhcpd. When updating these configurations, cobbler wants to courteously restart/reload the services to activate the changes. SELinux policy should allow this - or at the least, can you suggest improvements for cobbler? Specifically, audit2allow says that a `cobbler sync` operation, with cobbler configured to manage dhcpd and named, requires: allow cobblerd_t systemd_systemctl_exec_t:file execute; allow cobblerd_t systemd_systemctl_exec_t:file { read open } allow cobblerd_t systemd_systemctl_exec_t:file execute_no_trans; allow cobblerd_t init_t:unix_stream_socket connectto; allow cobblerd_t systemd_unit_file_t:service start allow cobblerd_t systemd_unit_file_t:service status allow cobblerd_t named_unit_file_t:service start allow cobblerd_t named_unit_file_t:service status There are modules to manage others, but for now I'm limiting the report to those I've tested.
