Description Tom London 2004-10-02 22:29:49 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041002
Firefox/0.10.1

Description of problem:
mDNSResponder is starting in the incorrect SELinux context (user_t).

The problem is the use of
     su -s /bin/bash - nobody -c mDNSResponder $OTHER_MDNSRD_OPTS >
/dev/null

to start /usr/bin/mDNSResponder.

It should be replaced with
   runuser -s /bin/bash - nobody -c mDNSResponder $OTHER_MDNSRD_OPTS >
/dev/null



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
howl-0.9.6-5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot system with SELinux/strict/enforcing
2. 'ps agxZ' | grep mDNS
3.
    

Expected Results:  mDNSResponder should be executing in howl_t
