selinux, sendmail, and services



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

For two days, I've been receiving notices from setroubleshooter about
sendmail and "unknown file". Today, after the pam update, I rebooted
and saw sendmail fail to start due to a problem with "services".

Feb 26 06:55:50 sds-desk setroubleshoot: #012 SELinux is preventing
the /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail from using potentially mislabeled files
(<Unknown>).#012

Feb 26 07:04:35 sds-desk setroubleshoot: #012 SELinux is preventing
the /usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail from using potentially mislabeled files
(/etc/services).#012

I used

~ grep sendmail /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M sendmail

to generate a policy to fix this. Was this the right thing to do? And
what caused sendmail and selinux to suddenly have a problem?

sendmail.te:

module sendmail 1.0;

require {
~ type initrc_tmp_t;
~ type rpm_script_tmp_t;
~ type system_mail_t;
~ type unconfined_home_t;
~ type sendmail_t;
~ type unconfined_home_dir_t;
~ type var_t;
~ class process setrlimit;
~ class dir { getattr search };
~ class file { write getattr read ioctl };
}

#============= sendmail_t ==============
allow sendmail_t initrc_tmp_t:file { read write getattr ioctl };
allow sendmail_t rpm_script_tmp_t:file read;
allow sendmail_t self:process setrlimit;
allow sendmail_t unconfined_home_dir_t:dir { getattr search };
allow sendmail_t unconfined_home_t:file { read getattr };
allow sendmail_t var_t:file { read write };

#============= system_mail_t ==============
allow system_mail_t rpm_script_tmp_t:file read;
