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.

Fixed In Version: bind-9.8.2-0.27.rc1.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The /var/named/chroot/etc/localtime was created during the installation of the bind-chroot package, but its SELinux context was not restored. Consequence: As a consequence, the /var/named/chroot/etc/localtime had wrong SELinux context. Fix: The command to restore the SELinux context of /var/named/chroot/etc/localtime after creation has been added into the post transaction section of the SPEC file. Result: As a result, the /var/named/chroot/etc/localtime has now the correct SELinux context after installation of bind-chroot package.

Description Karel Srot 2013-01-21 16:37:30 UTC 
Description of problem:

Wrong selinux context is probably not causing any issues but I expect there is a reason for having the file to be locale_t.

# ls -Z /var/named/chroot/etc/localtime
-rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:etc_t:s0   /var/named/chroot/etc/localtime
# matchpathcon /var/named/chroot/etc/localtime
/var/named/chroot/etc/localtime	system_u:object_r:locale_t:s0


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bind-chroot-9.8.2-0.17.rc1.el6.x86_64
selinux-policy-3.7.19-194.el6.noarch


How reproducible:
always,
install bind-chroot and check the selinux context
Comment 1 Milos Malik 2013-01-22 11:03:35 UTC 
missing restorecon ?
Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2013-01-22 12:47:36 UTC 
[mgrepl@rhel6 ~]$ matchpathcon /var/named/chroot/etc/localtime
/var/named/chroot/etc/localtime	system_u:object_r:locale_t:s0

[mgrepl@rhel6 ~]$ rpm -qf /var/named/chroot/etc/localtime
bind-chroot-9.8.2-0.16.rc1.el6.x86_64


It should work.Or did you create it manually?
Comment 3 Karel Srot 2013-01-22 12:58:36 UTC 
It is created by rpm postinstall script. Sorry for not mentioning it.

# rpm -q --scripts bind-chroot

  [ -e /var/named/chroot/dev/null ] || \
    /bin/mknod /var/named/chroot/dev/null c 1 3
  rm -f /var/named/chroot/etc/localtime
  cp /etc/localtime /var/named/chroot/etc/localtime
  if ! grep -q '^ROOTDIR=' /etc/sysconfig/named; then
