Description Anass Ahmed 2016-10-21 19:27:04 UTC
Description of problem:
Everytime I do installation or update using DNF (no NFS updates being included at all).
SELinux is preventing nfs-server-gene from 'write' accesses on the directory generator.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that nfs-server-gene should be allowed write access on the generator 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:
# ausearch -c 'nfs-server-gene' --raw | audit2allow -M my-nfsservergene
# semodule -X 300 -i my-nfsservergene.pp

Maybe duplicate of Bug 1377037, because I changed the reason/title of the bug for more clarification!

Comment 2 Alan Schmidt 2016-10-31 14:58:45 UTC
Also there are complaints about files in subdirectories:

SELinux is preventing nfs-server-gene from write access on the file /run/systemd/generator/nfs-server.service.d/order-with-mounts.conf.

*****  Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests   ************************

If you want to fix the label. 
/run/systemd/generator/nfs-server.service.d/order-with-mounts.conf default label should be nfsd_unit_file_t.
Then you can run restorecon.
Do
# /sbin/restorecon -v /run/systemd/generator/nfs-server.service.d/order-with-mounts.conf

*****  Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that nfs-server-gene should be allowed write access on the order-with-mounts.conf file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.

# ausearch -c 'nfs-server-gene' --raw | audit2allow -M my-nfsservergene

Comment 4 Alan Schmidt 2016-10-31 21:46:38 UTC
So, one of the following is true:

1) NFS + SELinux + systemd SHOULD conflict out of the box unless and until an admin makes wise choices about what should be allowed, and makes a small number of local policies.

2) I have misconfigured NFS.

One way or another, I've failed to grasp something essential. I /did/ suspect that setting it up was just too easy for safety.

I will try to google for relevant docs.

I know bug reports are no place for support requests. But if you're feeling magnanimous, "order-with-mounts.conf nfs-server-gene selinux" isn't getting me anything I can identify as an explanation for what nfs thinks it's trying to do.

Any hints?

Please re-read the original report, I didn't hit the /run/systemd/generator/nfs-server.service.d/order-with-mounts.conf error before, so the fix isn't for me!

Every time DNF updates software, I hit this bug!

I had a new error:
SELinux is preventing nfs-server-gene from add_name access on the directory nfs-server.service.d.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that nfs-server-gene should be allowed add_name access on the nfs-server.service.d 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:
# ausearch -c 'nfs-server-gene' --raw | audit2allow -M my-nfsservergene
# semodule -X 300 -i my-nfsservergene.pp
