Description of problem: Installed openvpn server long ago openvpn server stopped working after the latest (3.8.12) kernel update to F17 (server will not start due to selinux errors on /var/log/openvpn/openvpn). The included sealert message comes from systemctl restart scopen.openvpn.service I followed the sealert instructions to allow this access, which changed the results, but am still getting Options error: --status fails with '/var/log/openvpn/openvpn-status.log': Permission denied Options error: Please correct these errors. in /var/log/messages and /var/log/openvpn/openvpn.log. The permissions of openvpn.log and openvpn-status.log are identical -rw-rw----. root openvpn system_u:object_r:openvpn_var_log_t:s0 openvpn.log -rw-rw----. root openvpn system_u:object_r:openvpn_var_log_t:s0 openvpn-status.log hence it's hard to understand how the process is able to write the error message to openvpn.log, but not the status to openvpn-status.log SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/openvpn from read, write access on the directory /var/log/openvpn. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that openvpn should be allowed read write access on the openvpn directory by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # grep openvpn /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:openvpn_var_log_t:s0 Target Objects /var/log/openvpn [ dir ] Source openvpn Source Path /usr/sbin/openvpn Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages openvpn-2.3.1-2.fc17.x86_64 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.10.0-169.fc17.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.8.12-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 8 15:36:14 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 7 First Seen 2013-05-16 16:57:34 KST Last Seen 2013-05-16 18:09:48 KST Local ID b9a06393-08aa-480f-b821-1edd1b964abb Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1368695388.284:327): avc: denied { read write } for pid=5450 comm="openvpn" name="openvpn" dev="dm-22" ino=2430 scontext=system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:openvpn_var_log_t:s0 tclass=dir type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1368695388.284:327): arch=x86_64 syscall=access success=no exit=EACCES a0=7f91c12759f0 a1=7 a2=7f91c1275a00 a3=2e7375746174732d items=0 ppid=1 pid=5450 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=openvpn exe=/usr/sbin/openvpn subj=system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: openvpn,openvpn_t,openvpn_var_log_t,dir,read,write audit2allow #============= openvpn_t ============== #!!!!
