Description Robert de Vries 2009-07-03 07:47:49 UTC
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gitosis-0.2-8.20080825git.fc11.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install gitosis
2. Import the public key from the client per the instructions on the server (sudo -H -u gitosis gitosis.init < id_rsa.pub)
3. Try to clone repository using git clone gitosis@server_name:gitosis-admin.git
  
Actual results:
Git fails to clone the repository. The client asks for a password, but logging in using a password is disabled (on purpose).
In /var/log/messages the following line appears:
Jul  3 09:39:46 devt setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing sshd (sshd_t) "read" var_lib_t. For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l a4187688-435f-41fe-a07d-b8dd9a61732c


Expected results:
Git clones the repository without prompting for a password.


Additional info:
sealert output

Summary:

SELinux is preventing sshd (sshd_t) "read" var_lib_t.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by sshd. It is not expected that this access is
required by sshd and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also
possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

Comment 1 John Khvatov 2009-11-18 09:05:44 UTC
It's seems fixed in #470514.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2010-04-27 15:26:57 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2010-06-28 13:27:09 UTC
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
