Description Michal Marciniszyn 2008-09-03 16:05:01 UTC 
Description of problem:
The default targeted policy prevents freeradius to connect to net-snmp socket as smux client. In certain configurations, this is desired behavior.

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


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf, add these lines:
   smuxpeer 1.3.6.1.4.1.3317.1.3.1. verysecret
   view    systemview    included   .1.3.6.1.2.1.67

2. Edit /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf, find "snmp = no", change to "snmp = yes"

3. Edit /etc/raddb/snmp.conf, make sure the smux_password is set (should be able
to just uncomment the line), e.g.:
   smux_password = verysecret

4. Restart the snmp and radius services:
   % service snmpd restart
   % service radiusd restart

5. Perform a snmp walk on the radius mibs:
   % snmpwalk -c public -v2c localhost 1.3.6.1.2.1.67
  
Actual results:
net-snmp and freeradius are unable to communicate. To get avc, it is necessary to install enableaudit base module. 

Expected results:
freeradius should be able to connect to net-snmp

Additional info:
IMHO adding boolean is good idea, while this behavior is desired it is not always needed. The allow rule is
allow radiusd_t snmp_port_t:tcp_socket name_connect;
