Description of problem: I am trying to run ejabberd with PAM authentication, but SELinux shoots down PAM-related machinery during client authentication. I have the following in my /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.conf: ---- >8 ---- {auth_method, pam}. {pam_service, "login"}. ---- 8< ---- SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/ejabberd/priv/bin/epam from 'execute_no_trans' accesses on the file /usr/sbin/unix_chkpwd. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that epam should be allowed execute_no_trans access on the unix_chkpwd file by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # grep epam /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:rabbitmq_beam_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:chkpwd_exec_t:s0 Target Objects /usr/sbin/unix_chkpwd [ file ] Source epam Source Path /usr/lib64/ejabberd/priv/bin/epam Port <Unknown> Host (removed) Source RPM Packages ejabberd-2.1.13-1.fc19.x86_64 Target RPM Packages pam-1.1.6-12.fc19.x86_64 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.12.1-69.fc19.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name (removed) Platform Linux (removed) 3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 11 19:39:38 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 2 First Seen 2013-08-05 13:20:39 MSK Last Seen 2013-08-05 13:20:39 MSK Local ID ca2ca7ed-d9cd-41ad-bcab-953351b57108 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1375694439.978:2091): avc: denied { execute_no_trans } for pid=16360 comm="epam" path="/usr/sbin/unix_chkpwd" dev="dm-3" ino=1598665 scontext=system_u:system_r:rabbitmq_beam_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:chkpwd_exec_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1375694439.978:2091): arch=x86_64 syscall=execve success=no exit=EACCES a0=7f4cfba6eb38 a1=7fff65c94f10 a2=7f4cfbc753a0 a3=3 items=0 ppid=16249 pid=16360 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=989 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=989 sgid=989 fsgid=989 ses=4294967295 tty=(none) comm=epam exe=/usr/lib64/ejabberd/priv/bin/epam subj=system_u:system_r:rabbitmq_beam_t:s0 key=(null) Hash: epam,rabbitmq_beam_t,chkpwd_exec_t,file,execute_no_trans Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.6 hashmarkername: setroubleshoot kernel: 3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64 type: libreport
