Fixed In Version: selinux-policy-3.13.1-199.el7
Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
Current SELinux policy prevents ctdb's 49.winbind event script from executing smbcontrol. This can create inconsistent state in winbind, because when a public IP address is moved away from a node, winbind fails to drop connections made through that IP address.

Description surabhi 2015-12-14 09:28:03 UTC
Description of problem:
*************************************************

1.when disablescript 49.winbind is executed and stopped winbind service where CTDB_MANAGES_WINBIND = yes
2. disablescript 50.samba executed and stopped smb service where CTDB_MANAGES_SAMBA= yes

the avc's are seen which shows ctdbd tries to execute smbcontrol and in ctdb logs there are permission errors.

the following AVC's are seen and the messages in ctdb logs:
*****************************************************************

type=AVC msg=audit(1450103321.941:71909): avc:  denied  { sigchld } for  pid=11716 comm="49.winbind" scontext=system_u:system_r:smbcontrol_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:ctdbd_t:s0 tclass=process

This is log from ctdb which shows the ctdb scriptstatus:

We really should have some fix or workaround for this.

Ultimately this needs to be fixed in RHEL selinux policy, as far as I can tell, but this is broken in RHGS installs using CTDB_MANAGES_WINBIND for CTDB.

Comment 3 Michael Adam 2015-12-22 12:03:12 UTC
The new ad documentation guide documents to use CTDB_MANAGES_WINBIND=yes and this was a possiblity before. This bug will prevent this setup from fully working. It is important to 

1. get it fixed in RHEL
2. if possible get a workaround (in the form of a local policy?) in the samba RPM.

Comment 5 Michael Adam 2016-02-01 22:52:05 UTC
"prevents smbcontrol from using ctdb's 49.winbind event script" is wrong.

Correct is:

"prevents ctdb's 49.winbind event script from executing smbcontrol"

Thanks, the text is good now!

Comment 12 Amar Tumballi 2018-04-19 04:17:13 UTC
Closed the samba bugs in bulk when PM_Score was less than 0. As the team was working on few of them, opening all of them.
