Description Jochen Schmitt 2011-09-29 14:59:03 UTC
I have to find out, that pam_ssh needs to create the directory /var/run/pam_ssh on runtime to work properly.

The current policies denied the creation of this directory for the login process.

What avc are you seeing?

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2011-10-03 15:15:53 UTC
restorecon -R -c /var/run/pam_ssh  

Will fix.

/var/run/pam_ssh should be in the pam_ssh payload.  Secondly you need to add a /etc/tmpfiles.d/pam_ssh.conf

cat /etc/tmpfiles.d/pam_ssh.conf
D /var/run/pam_ssh 0750 root root -


This will tell systemd to create the directory with the correct label at boot time. Then the login programs will be allowed to use the directory.

You should unghosted the /var/run/pam_ssh entry in the %files stanza to make sure, that this directory will be created directly after the package was installed.
