Strange in rawhide these log files are being written to /var/log/openvpn/* Which is labeled openvn_log_t which the domain can write to. If you change the context of the log file to openvpn_log_t, it should work. # semanage fcontext -a -t openvpn_log_t /var/log/openvpn-status.log # restorecon /var/log/openvpn-status.log Is this a standard openvpn package from fedora? I will add context for this in selinux-policy-2.6.4-48.fc7
# LC_ALL=C semanage fcontext -a -t openvpn_log_t /var/log/openvpn-status.log libsepol.context_from_record: type openvpn_log_t is not defined libsepol.context_from_record: could not create context structure libsemanage.validate_handler: invalid context system_u:object_r:openvpn_log_t:s0 specified for /var/log/openvpn-status.log [all files] libsemanage.dbase_llist_iterate: could not iterate over records /usr/sbin/semanage: Could not add file context for /var/log/openvpn-status.log # rpm -q openvpn openvpn-2.1-0.19.rc4.fc7 # rpm -q selinux-policy selinux-policy-2.6.4-48.fc7
Sorry my mistake. Should have been openvpn_var_log_t # semanage fcontext -a -t openvpn_var_log_t /var/log/openvpn-status.log # restorecon /var/log/openvpn-status.log
It works now. No emails from sealertd since yesterday. Thank you.
