Description of problem: xinetd fails to start with selinux enabled Enabled: [root@hayden ~]# setenforce 1 [root@hayden ~]# service xinetd start Starting xinetd: /bin/bash: /usr/sbin/xinetd: Permission denied [FAILED] Disabled: [root@hayden ~]# setenforce 0 [root@hayden ~]# service xinetd start Starting xinetd: [ OK ] [root@hayden ~]# rpm -qa | grep xinetd xinetd-2.3.14-14.fc8 [root@hayden ~]# rpm -qa | grep selinux libselinux-2.0.43-1.fc8 libselinux-python-2.0.43-1.fc8 selinux-policy-devel-3.0.8-62.fc8 libselinux-2.0.43-1.fc8 selinux-policy-3.0.8-62.fc8 libselinux-devel-2.0.43-1.fc8 selinux-policy-targeted-3.0.8-62.fc8
If you execute # semanage login -m -s unconifned_u __default__ Then logout and log back in. Does it work for you?
This change will show up in selinux-policy-3.0.8-68.fc8
[root@hayden ~]# semanage login -m -s unconifned_u __default__ libsemanage.validate_handler: selinux user unconifned_u does not exist No such file or directory. libsemanage.validate_handler: seuser mapping [__default__ -> (unconifned_u, s0)] is invalid No such file or directory. libsemanage.dbase_llist_iterate: could not iterate over records No such file or directory. /usr/sbin/semanage: Could not modify login mapping for __default__ [root@hayden ~]# service xinetd start Starting xinetd: /bin/bash: /usr/sbin/xinetd: Permission denied [FAILED]
Ok try . semanage user -a -P unconfined -R "unconfined_r system_r" -r s0-s0:c0.c1023 unconfined_u semanage login -m -s unconfined_u -r s0-s0:c0.c1023 __default__
[root@hayden ~]# semanage user -a -P unconfined -R "unconfined_r system_r" -r s0-s0:c0.c1023 unconfined_u /usr/sbin/semanage: SELinux user unconfined_u is already defined [root@hayden ~]# semanage login -m -s unconfined_u -r s0-s0:c0.c1023 __default__ [root@hayden ~]# service xinetd start Starting xinetd: /bin/bash: /usr/sbin/xinetd: Permission denied [FAILED]
Now you have to log all the way out and log back in. Back to the Login prompt.
