I have some centos 4.4 server. i have disable selinux for some software problem: # cat /etc/selinux/config # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.

Hi: I have been using Dovecot for well over a year now and it has always worked with few problems. The mail setup is not simple... Postfix+MailScanner+ClamAV+Docvecot+MySql+postfix.admin... just to mention the major things. The system is CentOS 5.3 on VMware. The maildir is on an NFS share, index and control is local. About a month ago I thought I upgraded from 1.1.x to 1.2.x. by doing an

Not a problem ... sharing a solution (this time)! Please correct my understanding of the process, if required. "i_stream_read() failed: Permission denied" is an error message generated when a large-ish file (>128kb in my case) is attached to a message that has been passed to Dovecot's deliver program when SELinux is being enforced. In my case, these messages are first run

I've got a fresh RHEL AS 4-U2 installation on a Dell PE2850 server. I downloaded and installed the latest RPMs: ocfs2-2.6.9-22.ELsmp-1.0.7-1.i686.rpm ocfs2-tools-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm ocfs2console-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm I was able to start the console, but when I try to run cluster->configure_nodes, I get the following error message: Could not start cluster stack. This must be resolved before any

Hello, Running httpd-2.2.3-43.el5.centos.3 on CentOS release 5.5 (Final), I have : $ ps -Ze LABEL PID TTY TIME CMD user_u:system_r:httpd_t 12833 ? 00:00:00 httpd Is it normal for httpd to have this context (user_u:system_r:httpd_t) ? I was expecting system_u:system_r:httpd_t. And if it is not normal, is it because I have restarted httpd by

I recently setup my Puppetmaster server to run through Passenger via Apache instead of on the default webrick web server. SELinux made that not work and I've found some documentation on making rules to allow it however mine won't load. This is the policy I found via this website, http://sandcat.nl/~stijn/2012/01/20/selinux-passenger-and-puppet-oh-my/comment-page-1/ . module

Hi all, I have been putting a small (simple?)dedicated email server together to (ultimately) host a couple of domains. I am currently getting the configuration to work with one domain w/local mbox users and then plan to extend it to virtual users and an additional domain. Dovecot has been a problem to integrate in the configuration. The basic pieces are FC5, Postfix, Dovecot, with

Hi.

Yesterday I activated SELinux in targeted mode, then I rebooted and started receiving some error messages in the system services initialization: ====================================================================== audit(1156518721.252:2): avc: denied { read } for pid=2223 comm="syslogd" name="libc-2.3.4.so" dev=dm-0 ino=50441 scontext=user_u:system_r:syslogd_t

Hi All, I'm running CentOS 5.2 with SELinux in enforcing mode (default targeted policy). The server hosts a PHP web app that sends mail. I'm getting the following errors (see end of message) in my selinux audit.log file every time the app sends an email. The email always seems to get sent successfully, despite the log messages. However, they do concern me and I would like to understand

Hello, I was using CentOS 5.5 as a "playground" VM at my WinXP notebook and now I'm migrating to a new CentOS 5.6 install and everything has worked well - except samba. I have this very permissive config to export my ~/src dir: # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] guest ok = yes guest account = afarber security = share hosts allow = 172.16.6. 127.0.0.1 [src]

I'm trying to set the context on an nfs mounted /home.

I regret the delay in replying to this topic but I am a digest subscriber so I only see list traffic once every 24 hours. When I moved from RHES3 to CentOS4 back in April/May of this year I was bitten by the SELinux gnat as well, and the temptation to swat a distracting irritation by killing it in its bed nearly proved irresistible. However, taking to heart the advice given to me here and

Hello CentOS Docs People! I recently used the Amavisd howto to setup a couple of mailservers, which saved me from hours of searching online and reading novels of documentation. Since Ned is taking a little break from the Amavisd page, I would like to help contribute. There were a few things I'd like to add, like GTUBE/EICAR testing and SELinux config lines.

Hi, I am not very experienced with SELinux and I have a problem which I can't track down. Any help would be really appreciated. I have an 'install everything' Centos 4.2 system which I am using as a workstation. Before anyone tells me off for installing everything, I have done this in order to get used to CentOS before using it on live servers. Anyway when I log into X (gnome, gdm)

I want to put the document root for an application on a separate paritition that has more space. When I try to configure this I can't access the files in the new location. I've got the SELinux attributes set on the directory and its files, so I'm thinking it's something about the parent path that SELinux doesn't like, but I don't know where that's handled. My

Hi, I have a new CentOS sever install. I've also installed suPHP to replicate a live server. When I upload file via FTP the permissions seem OK, however the directories copied are not writable?? Any ideas? I have tried chmod 777 and that's not working either. Could is be a suPHP issue? I have 'suPHP_UserGroup GROUP USER' setup in my virtual directory and the user is also in the
