Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-mls-3.7.19-65.el6.noarch selinux-policy-3.7.19-65.el6.noarch selinux-policy-minimum-3.7.19-65.el6.noarch selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-65.el6.noarch selinux-policy-doc-3.7.19-65.el6.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install MLS policy on a RHEL-6 machine 2. modify /etc/selinux/config so that the machine will start up with MLS policy in enforcing mode 3. modify /boot/grub/grub.conf so that the machine will start up into single-user mode 4. run 'touch /.autorelabel' 5. run 'reboot' 6. log in as root via console 7. run "crontab -l" Actual results in enforcing mode: # crontab -l type=1400 audit(1295433485.395:7): avc: denied { read } for pid=785 comm="unix_chkpwd" name="shadow" dev=dm-0 ino=525308 scontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:shadow_t:s0 tclass=file unix_chkpwd[785]: could not obtain user info (root) Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info You (root) are not allowed to access to (crontab) because of pam configuration. # Actual results in permissive mode: # crontab -l type=1400 audit(1295433754.931:3): avc: denied { read } for pid=1124 comm="unix_chkpwd" name="shadow" dev=dm-0 ino=1180625 scontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:shadow_t:s0 tclass=file type=1400 audit(1295433755.057:4): avc: denied { open } for pid=1124 comm="unix_chkpwd" name="shadow" dev=dm-0 ino=1180625 scontext=system_u:system_r:sysadm_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 tcontext=system_u:object_r:shadow_t:s0 tclass=file no crontab for root # Expected results:
Seeing we have ifndef(`distro_redhat',` optional_policy(` auth_role(sysadm_r, sysadm_t) ') ')
I guess we can turn this on then.
Fixed in selinux-policy-3.7.19-67.el6
