Hi,

I'm trying to enforce selinux on a my machines, but I'm having issues troubleshooting denials from init script. Currently I'm trying to get puppet to work.

The first issue is that the init-script wants to execute checkpath, but fails:

Code:

# rc-service puppet start
Authenticating feffe.
puppet            | * /var/log/puppetlabs/puppet: creating directory
puppet            | * checkpath: mkdir: Permission denied


The audit log gives no indication on why it was denied (even when disabling dontaudit using "semodule -DBR"), but in permissive mode it works. I've tried to add the following to a local policy, hoping that one of them would be correct, but no such luck:

Code:

manage_dirs_pattern(run_init_t, var_log_t, var_log_t)
manage_dirs_pattern(initrc_t, var_log_t, var_log_t)


There are more issues after this, but for now I would be happy if anyone can tell me what's going on in openrc, why can't I find the denials for checkpaths failure?

Edit:
Turns out checkpath runs as tmpfiles_t, which explains why the above didn't work. I've created bug #679234 with my findings regarding puppet.
