/etc/services is labeling incorrectly restorecon /etc/services will fix. An rpm postinstall script must have updated the file and created it with the wrong context. *** Bug 529520 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
Description of problem: The start of the ntp initscript calls ntpdate to do a rough sync. It lacks some SELinux right to read /etc/services, and so always FAILs, and also emits SELinux errors Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ALL recent versions and the 5.1 update refresh did not fix it. How reproducible: /sbin/service ntp stop /sbin/service ntp start yields: [root@dhcp12 ~]# service ntpd start ntpd: Synchronizing with time server: [FAILED] Starting ntpd: [ OK ] [root@dhcp12 ~]# dmesg and the time is NOT synced. The aditional message below is in the audit log Steps to Reproduce: as above Actual results: The ntpdste sync is BLOCKED by SELinux permissions issues Expected results: For it NOT to emit the SELinux errors, and to set the clock, NEITHER of which presently work Additional info: From the audit log: audit(1198605648.611:18): avc: denied { read } for pid=2603 comm="ntpdate" name="services" dev=dm-0 ino=1638433 scontext=user_u:system_r:ntpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:rpm_script_tmp_t:s0 tclass=file audit(1198605648.612:19): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=2603 comm="ntpdate" path="/etc/services" dev=dm-0 ino=1638433 scontext=user_u:system_r:ntpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:rpm_script_tmp_t:s0 tclass=file
