As part of a swift install, rsync is configured to replicate data between nodes. I've been testing this out on RHEL 6.2 and it all works great until I turn selinux on. Once I turn on selinux I start getting AVCs in the audit log, they are being generated when rsyc (configured to be run by xinetd) trys to access the swift data being stored on a mounted files system in /srv/node/partitions. To get around this I've had to 1. setsebool rsync_export_all_ro on # set the rsync_export_all_ro boolean on 2. semodule -i rsyncswift.pp # insert a policy module, I generated by audit2allow 3. change the lock files configured in rsyncd.conf to be created in /var/run/ (the swift docs put them in /var/lock/) How would we normally handle policies required for a package in a different channel? should they be added to the swift package or the RHEL policies or are there other options? Attached are some example AVCs from audit.log along with various security contexts involved

Let's fixed that in Fedora first.
This is a regression. I previously verified bug #918721, yet now I noticed the problem is back. You can easily reproduce it by manually deleting some files in /srv/node/deviceX/ - without SELinux, they get restored if you have at least 2 nodes and replica_count=2. I reproduced this on RHEL6.4 using swift packages 1.8.0-4 selinux-policy-3.7.19-195.el6_4.10
Does running this: restorecon -Rv /srv/* ... make the problem go away? Swift creates /srv/node, which there should be labelling for in Fedora, but because the directory is created after the selinux-policy package is installed, it probably simply has the wrong label.
In my case, this was bug in my tests, I was messing with the data and forgot to restore SELinux context. So everything works on my setup now, even with SELinux. The reporter says he uses RHEL 6.2, maybe that is the problem.
Derek, does the restorecon from #c7 help?
(In reply to Martina Kollarova from comment #9) > Derek, does the restorecon from #c7 help? I no longer have the system where this was originally happening (It was over a year ago). If this has been solved for the currently supported platforms perhapes this can be closed?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
