Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.3.1-95.fc9.noarch

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to export a filesystem on a mls enforcing server
  
Actual results:
startup:
Oct 16 14:00:54 keymaster exportfs[1983]: failed to lock /var/lib/nfs/xtab
Oct 16 14:00:54 keymaster exportfs[1983]: failed to lock /var/lib/nfs/etab
Oct 16 14:00:54 keymaster exportfs[1983]: can't open /var/lib/nfs/etab.tmp for writing
Oct 16 14:00:54 keymaster exportfs[1983]: failed to lock /var/lib/nfs/xtab
Oct 16 14:00:54 keymaster exportfs[1983]: can't open /var/lib/nfs/xtab.tmp for writing

trying to stop:
# run_init service nfs stop

Expected results:
no errors

Additional info:

This is the policy I currently have for my mls enforcing nfsserver:

module mynfsserver 1.0.13;

require {
        type var_lib_nfs_t;
        type kernel_t;
        type nfsd_t;
        type rpcd_t;
        type gssd_t;
        type initrc_t;
        type mnt_t;
        class tcp_socket { read write };
        class file { unlink rename create lock read write };
        class dir { read write add_name remove_name getattr search };
        class process ptrace;
}

#============= initrc_t ==============
allow initrc_t var_lib_nfs_t:file { unlink rename lock read write create };
allow initrc_t var_lib_nfs_t:dir { write add_name remove_name };
# idmap is rpcd_t
allow initrc_t rpcd_t:process ptrace;
# rpcbind it initrc_t
allow initrc_t initrc_t:process ptrace;
allow initrc_t kernel_t:process ptrace;
allow initrc_t gssd_t:process ptrace;
allow initrc_t nfsd_t:process ptrace;

#============= kernel_t ==============
allow kernel_t var_lib_nfs_t:dir read;
allow kernel_t nfsd_t:tcp_socket { read write };

#============= nfsd_t ==============
allow nfsd_t mnt_t:dir { getattr search };

forgot to include avc...  below, newaudit is a script i wrote to show new avcs since the last run of the script..

[root@keymaster ~]# run_init service nfs stop
 ... [ all success]

The stops above work once the ptrace permissions are added.. apparently ptrace is don't audited...

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2009-06-10 02:59:15 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
