Description Watanabe, Yuki 2010-07-07 14:56:37 UTC

Description of problem:
When you try to change your login shell to mksh or yash using the chsh command, SELinux prevents it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mksh.i686             39c-1.fc13
selinux-policy.noarch 3.7.19-33.fc13
yash.i686             2.22-0.3.b0.fc13

How reproducible:
Always when SELinux is enabled.

Steps to Reproduce:
$ sudo yum install mksh yash
$ chsh -s /bin/mksh 
Changing shell for magicant.
Password: [enter password]
chsh: "/bin/mksh" is not executable.
$ chsh -s /bin/yash
Changing shell for magicant.
Password: [enter password]
chsh: "/bin/yash" is not executable.

Additional info:
The situation seems much alike to:

What AVC are you seeing?

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2010-07-08 14:44:59 UTC

If you change the context of the yash shell to shell_exec_t 

chcon -t shell_exec_t /bin/yash

Does it work?

Comment 3 Watanabe, Yuki 2010-07-08 15:18:27 UTC

Just after executing the chsh command, I see AVC alert notification. But when I click the "show" button in the notification, the "SELinux Security Alerts" window says "No alerts to view"...

After doing chcon, chsh successfully changes the shell.

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.7.19-34.fc13

Comment 5 Watanabe, Yuki 2010-07-09 13:47:28 UTC

I'm now trying selinux-policy-3.7.19-35.fc13 and can verify fix for yash, but still get the same error for mksh.

Looks like you fixed this in Rawhide but not F13.
