Description Stephen P. Schaefer 2006-04-17 22:06:05 UTC

Description of problem:

The FC5 selinux FAQ does not mention the "checkpolicy" package, which was not
installed during an attempted reconstruction of an everything install with the
interactive installer.  It took me quite a while to discover that checkpolicy
this was the package containing the "checkmodule" command.

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


How reproducible:

Read the FAQ.  Try to run "audit2allow" as specified.  Get
"/usr/bin/audit2allow: sh: checkmodule: command not found".  Have no clue where
to find that command.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:


Expected results:

It occurs to me, since "audit2allow -M" requires checkmodule, perhaps the
policycoreutils RPM (containing audit2allow) should require the checkpolicy RPM
(containing checkmodule) to be loaded as well.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2006-04-19 14:56:17 UTC

I am changing audit2allow to report an error when you use the -M qualifier and
you don't have checkmodule installed.  This will tell you which package to
install.  I don't really want to include this package by default, since
policycoreutils is on mininmal installs.

Does that sound acceptable?

Comment 3 Stephen P. Schaefer 2006-04-19 17:19:13 UTC

Yes; please do mention the package by name; I had tried searching for package
names containing "selinux" and that didn't find it.  Thanks.

Fixed in rawhide.
