Description of problem: pyzor needs to write some files into users' home directories, namely: /home/<user>/.pyzor/servers Running on a server with nfs mounted home directories and use_nfs_home_dirs --> on I get: type=AVC msg=audit(1296684776.239:43866): avc: denied { search } for pid=15209 comm="pyzor" name="" dev=0:1c ino=4288665 scontext=root:system_r:pyzor_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0 tclass=dir type=AVC msg=audit(1296684776.262:43867): avc: denied { write } for pid=15209 comm="pyzor" name="" dev=0:1c ino=4288665 scontext=root:system_r:pyzor_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0 tclass=dir type=AVC msg=audit(1296684776.262:43867): avc: denied { add_name } for pid=15209 comm="pyzor" name=".pyzor" scontext=root:system_r:pyzor_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0 tclass=dir type=AVC msg=audit(1296684776.262:43867): avc: denied { create } for pid=15209 comm="pyzor" name=".pyzor" scontext=root:system_r:pyzor_t:s0 tcontext=root:object_r:nfs_t:s0 tclass=dir type=AVC msg=audit(1296684776.354:43868): avc: denied { create } for pid=15209 comm="pyzor" name="servers" scontext=root:system_r:pyzor_t:s0 tcontext=root:object_r:nfs_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1296684776.355:43869): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=15209 comm="pyzor" path="/home/vasha/.pyzor/servers" dev=0:1c ino=4292648 scontext=root:system_r:pyzor_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1296684776.356:43870): avc: denied { write } for pid=15209 comm="pyzor" path="/home/vasha/.pyzor/servers" dev=0:1c ino=4292648 scontext=root:system_r:pyzor_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1296684776.356:43871): avc: denied { read } for pid=15209 comm="pyzor" name="servers" dev=0:1c ino=4292648 scontext=root:system_r:pyzor_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1296684821.926:43872): avc: denied { search } for pid=15273 comm="pyzor" name="" dev=0:1c ino=12308737 scontext=root:system_r:pyzor_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0 tclass=dir type=AVC msg=audit(1296684821.927:43873): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=15273 comm="pyzor" path="/home/orion/.pyzor" dev=0:1c ino=12374237 scontext=root:system_r:pyzor_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0 tclass=dir type=AVC msg=audit(1296684821.927:43874): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=15273 comm="pyzor" path="/home/orion/.pyzor/servers" dev=0:1c ino=12374279 scontext=root:system_r:pyzor_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1296684821.927:43875): avc: denied { read } for pid=15273 comm="pyzor" name="servers" dev=0:1c ino=12374279 scontext=root:system_r:pyzor_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0 tclass=file Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-2.4.6-279.el5_5.2
We treat pyzor/razor policy as spamc_t policy in RHEL6 and we have tunable_policy(`use_nfs_home_dirs',` fs_manage_nfs_dirs(spamc_t) fs_manage_nfs_files(spamc_t) fs_manage_nfs_symlinks(spamc_t) ') tunable_policy(`use_samba_home_dirs',` fs_manage_cifs_dirs(spamc_t) fs_manage_cifs_files(spamc_t) fs_manage_cifs_symlinks(spamc_t) ') I will add these rules for pyzor/razor policy to RHEL5. I mean tunable_policy(`use_nfs_home_dirs',` fs_manage_nfs_dirs(pyzor_t) .. ') tunable_policy(`use_samba_home_dirs',` fs_manage_cifs_dirs(pyzor_t) .. ')
Fixed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-301.el5
