RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-145.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-doc-3.7.19-145.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-mls-3.7.19-145.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-3.7.19-145.el6.noarch
selinux-policy-minimum-3.7.19-145.el6.noarch
opencryptoki-2.4-2.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
# run_init service pkcsslotd status
Authenticating root.
Password: 
pkcsslotd is stopped
# run_init service pkcsslotd start
Authenticating root.
Password: 
Starting pkcsslotd:                                        [  OK  ]
# run_init service pkcsslotd status
Authenticating root.
Password: 
pkcsslotd (pid  12315) is running...
# ps -efZ | grep pkcsslotd
system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0   root     12315     1  0 19:18 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pkcsslotd
unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 root 12330 12100  0 19:19 pts/1 00:00:00 grep pkcsslotd
# 
  
Actual results:
* pkcsslotd runs as initrc_t

Expected results:
* pkcsslotd runs in its own SELinux domain

The daemon is not confined by SELinux. Please help SELinux folks to create a suitable policy module. You know that we should minimize the number of programs running as initrc_t, don't you?
