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 of problem:
As per bug #1218330, there is a new SELinux boolean which covers the situation
that tmpwatch(1) can't be run on local directories being shared via Samba (and
thus labelled as samba_share_t). However, mounting a foreign CIFS share on a
server and running tmpwatch(1) to that share does not work, because that would
need allowing cifs_t as well.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.13.1-60.el7.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.13.1-60.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
Everytime, see above and below.

Actual results:
SELinux boolean tmpreaper_use_samba only covers samba_share_t.

Expected results:
SELinux boolean tmpreaper_use_samba samba_share_t and cifs_t.

Additional info:
This is not a duplicate of bug #1218330, that was the request for the boolean
itself.

Cross-filed case #01544463 on the Red Hat customer portal.
