Description Joe Nall 2007-04-09 19:56:31 UTC

Comment 1 George C. Wilson 2007-04-09 20:56:01 UTC

sgrubb: Shouldn't all /var/log contents be at SystemHigh?

Comment 2 George C. Wilson 2007-04-09 21:00:56 UTC

Joe Nall: You're either allowing writedowns, or cannot log above SystemLow.

Linda Knippers: There is support for the log being a trusted object. Is the
issue just the level of the log file?

Chad Hanson: Would you want syslogd to run at SystemHigh as well?

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2007-04-10 18:11:28 UTC

Fixed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-53.el5

Comment 6 George C. Wilson 2007-04-12 00:05:52 UTC

Joe, any way you can you verify that this is fixed in the updated package?

Comment 7 George C. Wilson 2007-04-12 23:00:18 UTC

I verified this is fixed in the 55 policy.
