SELinux is preventing /bin/bash from 'read' accesses on the fichier /root/.bash_history. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that bash should be allowed read access on the .bash_history file by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # grep bash /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context root:staff_r:staff_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 Target Objects /root/.bash_history [ file ] Source bash Source Path /bin/bash Port <Inconnu> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages bash-4.2.10-4.fc15 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.16-34.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Permissive Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Mon Jun 13 20:01:50 UTC 2011 i686 i686 Alert Count 1 First Seen mer. 20 juil. 2011 09:15:36 CEST Last Seen mer. 20 juil. 2011 09:15:36 CEST Local ID f201ec49-89e5-4659-8adf-f866c608f977 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1311146136.945:189): avc: denied { read } for pid=3261 comm="bash" name=".bash_history" dev=dm-0 ino=1573146 scontext=root:staff_r:staff_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1311146136.945:189): avc: denied { open } for pid=3261 comm="bash" name=".bash_history" dev=dm-0 ino=1573146 scontext=root:staff_r:staff_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1311146136.945:189): arch=i386 syscall=open success=yes exit=ESRCH a0=81da7a8 a1=8000 a2=0 a3=3e8 items=0 ppid=3251 pid=3261 auid=500 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=pts1 ses=1 comm=bash exe=/bin/bash subj=root:staff_r:staff_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: bash,staff_t,admin_home_t,file,read audit2allow #============= staff_t ============== allow staff_t admin_home_t:file { read open }; audit2allow -R #============= staff_t ============== allow staff_t admin_home_t:file { read open };
You are not able switch to root user as staff SELinux user in enforcing mode. You can setup sudo for example mgrepl ALL=(ALL) TYPE=unconfined_t ROLE=unconfined_r /bin/sh which will cause if you run # sudo sh as staff_u:staff_r:staff_t You will end up as unconfined_t. Or mgrepl ALL=(ALL) ROLE=sysadm_r TYPE=sysadm_t ALL mgrepl ALL=(ALL) TYPE=unconfined_t ROLE=unconfined_r /bin/sh
