restorecon -FR -v /usr/share/ Should fix the problem.
Steve any suggestions on how we can avoid this constraint if we don't have ubac enabled?
That looks like a MCS/MLS constraint violation to me. Why was the file labeled system high?
Oh I missed that I thought it was a violation on reading because of the user_u versus staff_u. Were you playing with chcon?
Okay, sorry guys, I should have used restorecon first (still learning). I used semanage to change from the default unconfined to user_u, logged in once and then decided to change to staff_u, logged in once and then changed back to user_u. Each time I used restorecon on the home directory as that is all I thought needed to be relabeled.
Michael, any idea how the MCS Level changed though?
No, not really, here is a brief summary of my .bash_history file, I can send you the whole file if you like but I was really just following your article on setting up staff_u and sudo as well as changing __default__ to user_u. I used the GUI to change naomi from user_u to staff_u and back once, so thats missing here. The only other thing is that I switched (Switch User) from my account (staff_u) to my wifes account (user_u/staff_u) and switched back and forth a few times without ever doing a complete logout/login of her account. adduser naomi passwd naomi semanage man semanage semanage login --help semanage login naomi -R user_u -M semanage login -m naomi -R user_u semanage login -a -s user_u naomi semanage login -l sesearch -T -s unconfined_t -t initrc_exec_t seinfo -aunconfined_domain_type -x semanage user -m -R"staff_r unconfined_r system_r" staff_u semanage login -m -s user_u __default__ semanage login -m -s staff_u semanage login -a -s staff_u -r s0:c0.c1023 michael setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs on mkdir /storage/foo restorecon -rv /storage chcon -t samba_share_t /storage chcon -t samba_share_t Public/ chcon -d samba_share_t Public/ chcon --help chcon -t samba_share_t /var/shared fcontext -a -t public_content_rw_t ’/storage(/.*)?’ fcontext -a -t public_content_rw_t '/storage(/.*)?' fcontext semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_rw_t '/storage(/.*)?' semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_rw_t '/storage(/.*)?' semanage fcontext -a -t samba_share_t '/storage(/.*)?'
semanage login -a -s staff_u -r s0:c0.c1023 michael should have been semanage login -a -s staff_u -r s0-s0:c0.c1023 michael
Thanks Daniel, should help fix other AVC messages.
Michael -r means range. What you had done was set the range to the michael process to be s0:c0.c1023. This is usually referred to as SystemHigh. When you run with that label, every file you create will be labeled s0:c0.c1023. And confined applications will not be allowed to read the file. When you run with a range like s0-s0:c0.c1023 that means your files will be created with the base of the range, s0, which is what is expected, then almost everything will be allowed to use the content.
Thats a good explanation, it makes sense now. I changed it, relabeled home dir and couldn't log back in because obviously it had affected more than just my home dir. Fixfiles to the rescue and it's all good, in fact a bit snappier and I can eject using my macbook's eject button :). Thanks for you time, it's appreciated.
Thanks for trying out confined users...
