Comment 2 Stanislav Polasek 2005-03-13 10:45:46 UTC
It is clean installation of RHEL 4, all available updates added and
(after I recognized the problem) relabeled on reboot.

Comment 3 Stanislav Polasek 2005-03-13 11:44:50 UTC
I copied the postgresql.te policy source file from current FC3, recreated policy
by runing make, run relabel on reboot. However, the problem persists.

Comment 4 Stanislav Polasek 2005-03-13 20:41:29 UTC
I found this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=149237
It is exactly the same bug. Setenforce 0; postgresql start; setenforce
1 works as the workaround.

erros when /tmp is mounted on tmpfs

If /tmp is mounted on tmpfs, there are more problems with targeted policy and
postgresql.  The attached errors were generated when I did:

# setenforce 0
# /etc/init.d/postgresql start
# setenforce 1

/tmp entry from /etc/fstab looks like this:
none /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0

Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2005-03-14 21:41:46 UTC
The policy in U1 should fix this problem.

A prerelease is available in 

ftp://people.redhat.com/dwalsh/SELinux/RHEL4/

You need to update policycoreutils and selinux-policy-targeted.\

Comment 7 Gavin Carr 2005-04-04 01:53:22 UTC
I'm hitting this bug as well. Daniel, could you post the SRPM to your prerelease
policycoreutils for those of us on non-i386 arches?

Comment 8 Daniel Walsh 2005-04-04 13:30:14 UTC
I have posted all arch's and the SRPM.
