Description Milos Malik 2012-03-29 12:36:01 UTC

Description of problem:
Could you modify bcfg2-server so that is uses inotify instead of gam_server. From SELinux policy point of view it's very difficult to confine a service that invokes gam_server.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bcfg2-web-1.2.1-1.el6.noarch
bcfg2-1.2.1-1.el6.noarch
bcfg2-server-1.2.1-1.el6.noarch
bcfg2-doc-1.2.1-1.el6.noarch

Comment 1 Jeffrey C. Ollie 2012-03-29 14:31:53 UTC

I haven't had much to do with bcfg2 lately, but this is something that would be better suited for upstream to deal with, so that Fedora doesn't need to be carrying a patch indefinitely.

Comment 2 Fabian Affolter 2012-04-05 06:08:42 UTC

Upstream is considering this for 1.3.0

Comment 3 Sol Jerome 2013-02-23 04:07:38 UTC

This functionality has been added upstream and will be included in 1.3.0.

Comment 4 Fabian Affolter 2013-07-04 07:31:34 UTC

Now using inotify.
