The proposed change is to remove the INSTALL_RHN section and merge whatever needs to be there to CONFIG_RHN. The proposed sudoers.rhn is below. I've tested that with this, the Satellite/Spacewalk works and runs external commands fine.

# The CONFIG_RHN commands are required for reconfiguration of a

# of the RHN Satellite.

This is a throw back from the old Installer - where we had command line install laid down packages. The WebUI then went through configuration/installation of Satellite to get it running, with many many steps, unlike the new WebUI portion that just asks for Username/password to be created for Sat Admin account. Cliff. Reassigning to myself as the bugzillas are not tracked against the SELinux feature. The previous comment should have been "are *now*". Committed to Spacewalk repo, c497dac254bf47d2502bf551c8bfea98327e9a2e and 080d38a606e143aa5fcaa00ee1a7281380dcaf22. With compose Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090220.1 available, moving ON_QA.

Description of problem: The default installation of Satellite 5.3.0 adds /usr/bin/rhn-deploy-ca-cert.pl to alias INSTALL_RHN in /etc/sudoers. I've grepped Spacewalk source and rhn-deploy-ca-cert.pl appears to be called in two places -- in spacewalk/setup/bin/spacewalk-setup, and in web/modules/rhn/RHN/SatInstall.pm. That spacewalk-setup is being used by root, so no sudo is needed (and called) there. That RHN::SatInstall calls sub deploy_ca_cert { my $class = shift; my %params = validate(@_, { "source-dir" => 1, "target-dir" => 1 }); my @opts; foreach my $key (keys %params) { push @opts, qq(--$key=$params{$key}); } my @command = ('/usr/bin/rhn-deploy-ca-cert.pl', @opts); my $ret = system('/usr/bin/sudo', @command); if ($ret) { die "Could not deploy ca cert."; } return; } But the function deploy_ca_cert is not used in the whole Spacewalk codebase except that bin/spacewalk-setup, and that script defines its own function. Therefore I assume it is dead code which can be removed, and so can /usr/bin/rhn-deploy-ca-cert.pl from /etc/sudoers. Note: I did this scan through our code to figure out if there are some commands that need additional SELinux treatment. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Satellite-5.3.0-RHEL5-re20090206.1 How reproducible: Deterministic. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Satellite 5.3.0. 2. Look into /etc/sudoers. Actual results: /usr/bin/rhn-deploy-ca-cert.pl is there. Expected results: /usr/bin/rhn-deploy-ca-cert.pl is not there and Satellite continues to work OK. Additional info: This bug was modeled based on bug 484699.
