Hi,
I have a fc6 linux box: kernel-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6, selinux-policy-2.4.6-62.fc6 and selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-62.fc6, audit-1.4.2-5.fc6. The system works and I was trying to add some settings to the selinux policy by running audit2allow. It was okay before noon:
# audit2allow -M local < /var/log/audit/audit.log # semodule -i local.pp
The new modules were added and it works. However, later, I can't do it again, but always get error:
# audit2allow -M local < /var/log/audit/audit.log compilation failed: (unknown source)::ERROR 'syntax error' at token '' on line 6:
/usr/bin/checkmodule: error(s) encountered while parsing configuration /usr/bin/checkmodule: loading policy configuration from local.te
and the file local.te has only one line:
module local 1.0;
not like before. Can somebody tell what is wrong? "on line 6" of what file? I reboot the system, still the same.
What version of policycoreutils?
The implication is that there were no avc denials in /var/log/audit/audit.log, and thus the generated module was empty. Possibly your audit logs were automatically rotated?
You should really be using the -a option btw, e.g. audit2allow -a -M local That will pull all messages from audit, including older audit logs I believe.
