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 Kevin Fenzi 2012-08-23 17:18:37 UTC 
We have a unbound server that needs to listen on port 80/tcp. 

# semanage port -l  | grep dns
dns_port_t                     tcp      80, 443, 8953, 53
dns_port_t                     udp      53
# semanage port -l  | grep http_port_t
http_port_t                    tcp      80, 443, 488, 8008, 8009, 8443
# setenforce 1
# service unbound restart
Stopping unbound:                                          [  OK  ]
Starting unbound: Aug 23 17:05:13 unbound[17141:0] warning: increased limit(open files) from 1024 to 8314

                                                           [FAILED]
# setenforce 0
# service unbound restart
Stopping unbound:                                          [FAILED]

This was working before, so might be a regression in selinux-policy-3.7.19-155.el6_3
Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2012-08-24 07:16:52 UTC 
How did you define tcp/80 as dns_port_t?

You did not get

/sbin/semanage: Port tcp/80 already defined

?

We have the

named_bind_http_port

boolean in Fedora which I should backport.
Comment 3 Milos Malik 2012-08-24 09:23:08 UTC 
# semanage port -l | grep dns_port_t
dns_port_t                     tcp      8953, 53
dns_port_t                     udp      53
# semanage port -m -p tcp -t dns_port_t 80
# semanage port -l | grep dns_port_t
dns_port_t                     tcp      80, 8953, 53
dns_port_t                     udp      53
#

It is possible to add 80 to dns_port_t even if 80 is already used in http_port_t, but you have to use "semanage port -m ...".

# semanage port -l | grep http_port_t
http_port_t                    tcp      80, 443, 488, 8008, 8009, 8443
pegasus_http_port_t            tcp      5988

Comment 5 Milos Malik 2012-08-24 11:45:50 UTC 
Default configuration of unbound service wants to bind to port 8953. Maybe dns_port_t definition should include that port number.
Comment 6 Miroslav Grepl 2012-08-24 11:56:09 UTC 
We have 

semanage port -l |grep 8953
rndc_port_t                    tcp      953, 8953

in Fedora.

Need to backport it.
