dear all, that really baffles me, I don't seem to be able to set it up :) and that port by default in conf file?? setroubleshoot server should be able to listen on network so remote sealert could connect to it, right? on my boxes(f9;f10) it does even look like binding to a port please advise cheers
By default the connection between the server and client is local and is implemented with a unix domain socket, not inet. This default is chosen for security reasons with the consequence the client (sealert) can only connect to the server (setroubleshootd) if they are running on the same host. However, it is possible to configure setroubleshootd to accept inet connections (see the comments in /etc/setroubleshoot/setroubleshoot.cfg) so that a remote sealert can connect to it. Be aware there is no authentication in this configuration and as such you must be comfortable with anyone being able to access your selinux denial information. For sealert to connect via inet to a remote host use the "connect to" menu item in the "File" menu (going from memory, the name might be slightly different). In the default local case you should not need to do anything special, the default configuration should just work.
