Description Orion Poplawski 2005-09-20 15:54:29 UTC

Description of problem:

Running samba on an FC4 box.  Using Ghost to backup into a share.  Files need to
have user_home_t context for smbd to access.  However, it looks like new files
are not being created with contexts:

[root@alexandria Ghost]# ls -Z
-rwxrw-r--  stockwel cora                                      C_Drive030_i001.iv2i

Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2005-11-04 18:54:22 UTC

Changing to selinux-policy-targeted to try to get some more info.  Looks like
things work when files are labeled samba_share_t (new ones are created that
way), but not when existing dirs are labeled user_home_t (new ones don't have
labels).

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2005-11-10 16:19:44 UTC

Scratch the above.  It seems I've got one system where it appears to work, and
one where it doesn't.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2005-11-30 20:42:52 UTC

Are you seeing avc messages?

This seems like a kernel problem to me.  Policy would not come into play here.

Comment 4 Orion Poplawski 2005-12-01 16:06:21 UTC

I'm running in permissive mode.  Only avc messages I get are after the file is
created:

Nov 30 21:05:59 alexandria kernel: audit(1133409959.234:3594): avc:  denied  {
getattr } for  pid=3629 comm="smbd" name="C_Drive045_i014.iv2i" dev=dm-6
ino=2700225 scontext=system_u:system_r:smbd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t
tclass=file

I'm running 2.6.12-1.1456_FC4smp because of problems experience with later
kernels.  Will try to test with the latest soon.

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2006-01-02 19:37:06 UTC

Are you using ext3? Or reiserfs? Or xfs?

jfs

Comment 7 Daniel Walsh 2006-01-27 06:04:19 UTC

Not supported with SELinux.
