Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-minimum-2.4.6-331.el5
selinux-policy-devel-2.4.6-331.el5
selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-331.el5
selinux-policy-2.4.6-331.el5
selinux-policy-strict-2.4.6-331.el5
selinux-policy-mls-2.4.6-331.el5
openhpi-2.14.0-5.el5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
# run_init service openhpid status
Authenticating root.
Password: 
Checking for openhpid daemon: 
openhpid is stopped
# run_init service openhpid start
Authenticating root.
Password: 
Starting openhpid:                                         [  OK  ]
# ps -efZ | grep openhpid
user_u:system_r:initrc_t        root     12819     1  0 12:42 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/openhpid -c /etc/openhpi/openhpi.conf
root:system_r:unconfined_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh root 12825 2823  0 12:42 pts/0 00:00:00 grep openhpid
# 

Actual results:
* openhpid runs as initrc_t

Expected results:
* openhpid runs in its own SELinux domain
Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2012-08-20 08:40:01 UTC 
I believe we should stay with initrc_t for all these services for RHEL5. 

Basically I can backport policies but we would need to make this policy as unconfined.

Also we don't see any issues with these services running as initrc.
