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 rlopez 2013-10-11 16:50:30 UTC
Description of problem:

Currently working with Dan Walsh on creating a Oracle SELinux policy, and one of the issues encountered is trying to change the SELinux label of Oracle's oradiag_oracle folder located in its homedir from user_home_t to oracle_log_t. Apparently, homedir labeling happens after module labeling.

Within the oracle.fc file ,
/home/oracle/oradiag_oracle(.*/)?                                       gen_context(system_u:object_r:oracle_log_t,s0)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Additional info:

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2013-10-11 19:51:04 UTC
Should be

/home/oracle/oradiag_oracle(/.*)?                                       gen_context(system_u:object_r:oracle_log_t,s0)

One potential change to fix this for now would be

HOME_DIR/oradiag_oracle(/.*)? 

Which would cause this label to apply to all users.

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-13 23:00:23 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 6 Petr Lautrbach 2016-11-02 17:03:45 UTC
Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 6 is entering the Production 2 phase of its lifetime and this bug doesn't meet the criteria for it, i.e. only high severity issues will be fixed. Please see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/ for further information.

Feel free to clone this bug to RHEL-7 if this is still issue for you.
