RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
Same as Fedora bug 679596
Cannot run system-config-selinux
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1.sudo system-config-selinux
2.
3.
Actual results:
could not open interface info [/var/lib/sepolgen/interface_info]
Expected results:
open Selinux configuration gui
Additional info:
Indiana University server
No just checking if something else was wrong. It should not blow up with this, but the reason the file does not exists is SELinux is disabled. We don't ususally test the selinux config tool on a disabled machine.
I see. I have just reinstalled all the Selinux packages and configured for permissive mode. I want tp build a module for Big Brother to run under Selinux. I have done this on our RHES 5.x servers without a problem. I cannot get any Selinux GUI utility to run nor does "setenforce Permissive" work.
I managed to get Selinux running in permissive mode, but still get same error trying to run system-config-selinux:
[root@electron ~]# sestatus
SELinux status: enabled
SELinuxfs mount: /selinux
Current mode: permissive
Mode from config file: permissive
Policy version: 24
Policy from config file: targeted
[root@electron ~]# system-config-selinux
could not open interface info [/var/lib/sepolgen/interface_info]
[root@electron ~]#
I just finished creating the policy module, so far it is working. I was able to enable Selinux via the GUI on RHES5. This time I had to edit the /etc/selinux/config then reboot twice. Shouldn't I be able to work with system-config-selinux without making the config file edit?
