Description Robin Powell 2011-07-20 03:23:00 UTC
Without the following policy change:


Jul 19 19:02:01 basti /USR/SBIN/CROND[8183]: (root) CMD (echo cron test)
Jul 19 19:02:01 basti /USR/SBIN/CROND[8183]: (CRON) ERROR chdir failed (/root): Permission denied
Jul 19 19:03:01 basti /USR/SBIN/CROND[8196]: (root) CMD (echo cron test)
Jul 19 19:03:01 basti /USR/SBIN/CROND[8196]: (CRON) ERROR chdir failed (/root): Permission denied

The policy:



module mycrond 1.0;

require {
        type chkpwd_t;
        type admin_home_t;
        type crond_t;
        class process { siginh noatsecure rlimitinh };
        class dir search;
}

#============= crond_t ==============
#!!!! This avc can be allowed using the boolean 'allow_polyinstantiation'

allow crond_t admin_home_t:dir search;

Any idea when this will reach updates-testing?  Sorry, I'm unclear on the process there.
