:SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/winbindd from 'write' accesses on the directory samba.
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that winbindd should be allowed write access on the samba directory 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 winbindd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Canyon Bliss 2012-06-06 20:45:52 UTC
I'm seeing this as well.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2012-06-07 15:44:18 UTC
Simo did winbind move its windbind directory into /var/run/samba?

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2012-06-07 15:49:29 UTC
Any ways I am adding rules to allow windbind to create its content in a directory labels smbd_var_run_t.

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.10.0-129.fc17

Comment 4 Alexander Bokovoy 2012-06-07 17:09:18 UTC
That's right. There is Samba ccache in /var/run/samba now and Windbindd shares it with smbd.

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2012-06-07 18:58:59 UTC
Is this a file?

Comment 6 Alexander Bokovoy 2012-06-07 19:10:50 UTC
There are actually several things.

This report is about samba4 4.0.0alpha18. Since build 48 we moved samba's piddir to /run/samba. As this information is shared across all daemons in samba suite, winbindd uses it as well.

Below is the list of directories, they are used by smbd, nmbd, and winbindd.
$ strings /usr/lib64/libsamba-util.so|grep run
/run
/run/samba/ncalrpc
/run/samba/nmbd
/run/samba/winbindd
/run/samba/ntp_signd

We don't use ntp_signd in our build of samba4, this is for AD DC functionality. /run/samba/ncalrpc is used by smbd in end point mapper mode, as discussed before.

So /run/samba/winbindd is the directory winbindd tries to create in the report above.

In addition to that, since 4.0.0beta1 we are putting samba suite's kerberos ccache to /run/samba/krb5cc_samba. This is reused by smbd and winbindd, thus they both will need to have access there.

Comment 7 Daniel Walsh 2012-06-07 19:20:16 UTC
Can all of them create it or just smbd and windbind and nmbd read it?

Comment 8 Alexander Bokovoy 2012-06-07 19:23:10 UTC
all smbd, nmbd, and winbindd will try to create their own directories if they are missing. The same code is used for that logic.

Comment 9 Daniel Walsh 2012-06-07 21:10:22 UTC
That I am allowing, but I was question who creates /run/samba/krb5cc_samba and who needs to read it.

Comment 10 Alexander Bokovoy 2012-06-08 04:41:38 UTC
/run/samba/krb5cc_samba is created by smbd and winbindd when they use Kerberos ccache-related operations as this is their default ccache (enforced through systemd units configuration). nmbd does not use it.

Comment 11 Daniel Walsh 2012-06-08 10:46:51 UTC
Ok I believe all of the fixes are in.

Fixed in selinux-policy-3.10.0-129.fc17

Comment 12 Sumit Bose 2012-06-11 10:03:52 UTC
Thank you. winbind is working well in my tests with selinux-policy-3.10.0-129.fc17 and SELinux in enforcing mode.
