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 Johan Hedin 2013-04-19 06:18:42 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #953261 +++

Description of problem:

For nagios, there exists a nagios_unconfined_plugin_exec_t file context that can be used for plugins that not yet have a dedicated context.

But, the current policy assigns bin_t to all files in /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins that does not have a specific context. By comparison, munin plugins in
/usr/share/munin/plugins that does not have a specific selinux file context get unconfined_munin_plugin_exec_t automatically.

Doing the same for nagios plugins would make life easier for those who build a lot of there own plugins.

Three files in /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins from the nagios-plugins package get the context bin_t from the current policy so something like replacing:

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins(/.*)?     system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0

with:

/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/.*       system_u:object_r:nagios_unconfined_plugin_exec_t:s0
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/negate   system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/urlize   system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/utils.sh system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0

should do the trick.
