Description of problem: In both Fedora 17 and RHS, gluster is creating a file in /var/lib/ called urandom_seed and then seeding urandom.These seem like dangerous operations that we do not wan't to allow in SELinux policy. Can you help explain why these operations are being done and if they are not required remove them so we can increase system security?
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
amar@supernova:~/work/glusterfs$ git grep urandom_seed amar@supernova:~/work/glusterfs$ I see that there is no code in glusterfs which deals with urandom_seed.. is there any idea which package adds this file?
Indeed, at least current versions of glusterfs do not touch any file called urandom_seed. Please re-open this bug if this is still an issue for you. When you do, including steps and maybe an strace, ltrace or audit.log of the process that touches urandom_seed as 'evidence'?
