linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi, I am setting now up a IMAP-Server with dovecot. Everything works almost fine, except Selinux. I prepared an external Disk for Data and mounted this under /mails. This is now the maildir, which contains one directory per user. Now i get always messages, that selinux blocks wirte access. This is almost because of not setting the correct context by me. Could please anybody serve my the correct selinux-label for the directories/files, so i can chcon correctly? As this is not Standard-Setup, i do not expect fixfiles to work. Cheers, thx Roger (HowTos)

Stories similar to Selinux-Label for Dovecot Maildir

Hello,

Debian: SELinux not enabled 35 weeks 5 days ago

I'm trying to setup SELinux on Debian 6 according to (the instructions reported on the Debian wiki).

I've run this commands:

apt-get install selinux-basics selinux-policy-default selinux-activate

After reboot, the system should have taken a while to label the filesystems on boot and then rebooted a second time when that was complete.

I've setup Wordpress on our server. We're trying to upload some documentation files. But SELinux pops-up and says that

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/php-fpm from write access on the directory /opt/nginx/html/wp/wp-content/uploads.

All the file permission are correct. Is there something to be done to allow php-fpm allow write access to that directory.

SELinux Time Change Bug 17 weeks 1 day ago

I reported it, but SELinux has found a new way to screw up /rant.

After today's SELinux update, I found the timezone was changed from EDT to UTC.

Hello everyone, I have been experiencing this problem for about the last 10 days. I decided that I would experiment with SE Linux and enable it to see how everything works.

Setting up SELinux 1 year 46 weeks ago

I'm using the Testing repositories, and I'm trying to configure SELinux. I found a guide for setting it up in Debian HERE, and I've edited all the appropriate config files, but I have a big problem. When I try to install selinux-policy-default, Apt wants to remove EVERYTHING that makes the system usable, including all kernels, ALSA, and all of the Xorg drivers.

F18 and SELinux 19 weeks 6 days ago

Greetings,

I've installed F18 TC4 and it's running pretty well, with the exception of a SELinux issue that I can't resolve, probably due to the fact that I've never had any previous SELinux problems and I know nothing about it.

Anyway, it's the printer driver that is generating the error and the troubleshooting tips don't help.

I need some help with chcon 3 years 31 weeks ago

I keep getting SELinux error messages that state "SELinux is preventing samba (/usr/sbin/smbd) "search" to / (fusefs_t)." and the like, seems that pretty much everything I do generates some kind of error. I currently have SELinux set to permissive but I don't want to continue to run that way.
