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 Karel Srot 2013-03-08 11:50:50 UTC 
Description of problem:

On a newly installed system I have:

# ls -Zd /etc/multipath
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:root_t:s0      /etc/multipath

# rpm -qa | grep multipath
# for P in `rpm -qa`; do rpm -q --scripts $P | grep -q multipath && echo $P; done
#
# ls -lZR /etc/multipath
/etc/multipath:
-rw-------. root root system_u:object_r:root_t:s0      bindings

but the correct context is lvm_metadata_t (see bug 880407).

in anaconda.log I can see:

11:21:28,431 INFO    : moving (1) to step preinstallconfig
11:21:28,432 DEBUG   : preinstallconfig is a direct step
11:21:28,456 DEBUG   : isys.py:mount()- going to mount /selinux on /mnt/sysimage/selinux as selinuxfs with options defaults
11:21:28,459 DEBUG   : isys.py:mount()- going to mount /proc/bus/usb on /mnt/sysimage/proc/bus/usb as usbfs with options defaults
11:21:28,467 INFO    : copy_to_sysimage: source '/etc/multipath/wwids' does not exist.
11:21:28,467 DEBUG   : copy_to_sysimage: '/etc/multipath/bindings' -> '/mnt/sysimage/etc/multipath/bindings'.
11:21:28,474 INFO    : copy_to_sysimage: source '/etc/multipath/wwids' does not exist.
11:21:28,474 DEBUG   : copy_to_sysimage: '/etc/multipath/bindings' -> '/mnt/sysimage/etc/multipath/bindings'.
11:21:28,477 INFO    : leaving (1) step preinstallconfig

seems that the context should be restored later on.

How reproducible:
always on the necessary system configuration

Steps to Reproduce:
1. just install the system
2. check /etc/multipath/binding
3.
  
Actual results:
/etc/multipath directory has wrong selinux context

Expected results:
/etc/multipath (and its content) has correct selinux context

possible fix

I'm attaching an updates.img with a proposed fix. Would someone mind testing this out to verify the correct SELinux context is being set now?

Bah; please ignore that first attachment and use this updates.img to test. (Sorry about that.)
Comment 12 Jan Stodola 2013-07-02 08:18:29 UTC 
Testing with updates image from comment 11 looks good:

[root@rtt7 ~]# ls -lZ /etc/multipath
-rw-------. root root system_u:object_r:lvm_metadata_t:s0 bindings
-rw-------. root root system_u:object_r:lvm_metadata_t:s0 wwids
[root@rtt7 ~]# ls -lZd /etc/multipath
drwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:lvm_metadata_t:s0 /etc/multipath
[root@rtt7 ~]# restorecon -Rv /etc/multipath
[root@rtt7 ~]#
