Description of problem: I have an application (Review Board) that needs to be able to access a remote CVS (concurrent versions system) server. When I attempt to use the 'cvs' command-line utility from within an OpenShift console (or internally in the Review Board application), I encounter the following error: CVSROOT=:pserver:anon:anon@cvs.opengroup.org:/cvs/MSB cvs co pegasus cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to [cvs.opengroup.org]:2401 failed: Permission denied This command works properly when run from my local Fedora system. I am guessing that there is likely an SELinux AVC occurring, but I have no way to verify this in OpenShift. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Live OpenShift as of today (2014-07-10) How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. SSH into an OpenShift instance 2. run the command 'CVSROOT=:pserver:anon:anon@cvs.opengroup.org:/cvs/MSB cvs co pegasus' Actual results: cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to [cvs.opengroup.org]:2401 failed: Permission denied Expected results: The cvs command should start checking out the contents of the CVS code repository. Additional info: I submitted this to StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24616697/accessing-a-cvs-server-from-an-openshift-application-review-board I was informed "The outgoing port (2401) is blocked by an SELinux policy. The best way to request the team to open it, and track the request, is to enter a bug with your use case", so here you go.
Is there an approximate ETA on this? This is a blocking issue for some of our external interactions.
Verify fixed on devenv_5550, the cvs checkout works. [root@ip-10-61-203-34 ~]# semanage port -l |grep cvs cvs_port_t tcp 2401 cvs_port_t udp 2401
