If you run # restorecon -R -v /etc/ppp Does the problem come back? |
Description of problem: i have my verizon-evdo card setup and working fine. but if i use networkmanager to connect to the internet with it i get the following SELINUX policy violations. SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/pppd (pppd_t) "write" access to resolv.conf (pppd_etc_t). ----------------- Source Context: system_u:system_r:pppd_tTarget Context: user_u:object_r:pppd_etc_tTarget Objects: resolv.conf [ file ]Affected RPM Packages: ppp-2.4.4-1.el5 [application]Policy RPM: selinux-policy-2.4.6-30.el5Selinux Enabled: TruePolicy Type: targetedMLS Enabled: TrueEnforcing Mode: EnforcingPlugin Name: plugins.disable_transHost Name: xunilPlatform: Linux xunil 2.6.18-8.1.3.el5xen #1 SMP Mon Apr 16 16:23:32 EDT 2007 i686 i686Alert Count: 1Line Numbers: Raw Audit Messages :avc: denied { write } for comm="pppd" dev=sda3 egid=0 euid=0 exe="/usr/sbin/pppd" exit=-13 fsgid=0 fsuid=0 gid=0 items=0 name="resolv.conf" pid=4348 scontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 sgid=0 subj=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 suid=0 tclass=file tcontext=user_u:object_r:pppd_etc_t:s0 tty=ttyUSB0 uid=0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: i can reproduce everytime i connect. i can get around it by doing this: setsebool -P pppd_disable_trans=1 or by disabling SELINUX all together :( so, not sure if the PPPD policy needs to be updated or not - but i thought i'd pass it on. i also got another ppp error but deleted it and it doesn't seem to come back b/c i did the following command: setsebool -P xend_disable_trans=1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
