I have a RHEL 6.2 server running LikewiseOpen. It appears to me that I will take care of a large number of denials if I can change the type of /var/lib/likewise/.lsassd to be lsassd_var_socket_t.
I added the file context rule with semanage, and used restorecon to change it to lsassd_var_socket_t as desired. But later I found that / var/lib/likewise/.lsassd had type var_lib_t again. I assume that is because the likewise processes run as initrc_t.
Why are the likewise processes running in initrc_t?
Are the likewise executable files in their proper location:
/usr/sbin/dcerpcd -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:dcerpcd_exec_t,s0) /usr/sbin/eventlogd -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:eventlogd_exec_t,s0) /usr/sbin/lsassd -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:lsassd_exec_t,s0) /usr/sbin/lwiod -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:lwiod_exec_t,s0) /usr/sbin/lwregd -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:lwregd_exec_t,s0) /usr/sbin/lwsmd -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:lwsmd_exec_t,s0) /usr/sbin/netlogond -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:netlogond_exec_t,s0) /usr/sbin/srvsvcd -- gen_context(system_u:object_r:srvsvcd_exec_t,s0)
I'd like to change the policy and tell it that services running in either initrc_t or unconfined_t domains should create the file /var/ lib/likewise/.lsassd with type lsassd_var_socket_t. (A command line tool lwsm for managing the processes runs in unconfined_t so I'd like to include that domain to be safe. ) How can I go about doing that in RHEL 6 (or can I)?
That is not possible but if you label /var/lib/likewise:
semanage fcontext -a -t likewise_var_lib_t "/var/lib/likewise(/.*)?"
And configure restorecond to watch /var/lib/likewise then the file will be reset to the proper type when restorecond notices that its mislabeled.
The policy for likewise was written by the people of likewise. I helped with it a bit. I think we collaborated on the selinux maillist but i could not find the thread about it in short noticed. (i was looking for the e-mail address of the likewise policy author so that i can ask him to see if the policy is still up-to-date)
It may be that the policy is not maintained optimally.
Maybe you can help us revisit it?
Those files are all under /opt/likewise/sbin on this system (although there is no srvsvcd): /opt/likewise/sbin/dcerpcd /opt/likewise/sbin/eventlogd /opt/likewise/sbin/lsassd /opt/likewise/sbin/lwiod /opt/likewise/sbin/lwregd /opt/likewise/sbin/lwsmd /opt/likewise/sbin/netlogond
Also the directories corresponding to /etc/likewise-open and /var/lib/ likewise-open are actually /etc/likewise and /var/lib/likewise on my system.
My system is RHEL 6.2 and I installed LikewiseOpen by downloading LikewiseOpen-6.1.0.8729-linux-x86_64-rpm.sh, making it executable, and typing: ./LikewiseOpen-6.1.0.8729-linux-x86_64-rpm.sh install
So I think it is installed with all the defaults.
I would be very happy to help. I would really like for selinux and likewise to coexist comfortably.
Thanks! Maria
