Hi. I'm new to selinux, and I'm trying to make it work (enforcing, strict) on an empty and fresh gentoo with profile
Code:
  [34]  default/linux/amd64/23.0/no-multilib/hardened/selinux/systemd (stable) *

and a minimal set of utilities. There are a few problems I don't understand, it starts with NetworkManager:

Code:

What is the right thing to do about the very first error?
Code:

selinux requires a lot of work before reaching the enforced status, especially on desktop (is it ?). You'll have to generate many policies by yourself.

wiki is (once again) usefull :
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SELinux
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SELinux/Tutorials
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SELinux/Tutorials/Creating_your_own_policy_module_file
REHL too : https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/using_selinux/index

I do not answer directly to your request because as soon as this line of log solved, you will have hundreds more :lol:

Thanks. I've been following the wiki, but I still have to wrap my head around it.

This is not a desktop, it should be a server running a web server, php, database and not much else. I'm a bit confused because from the first error it looks like I need to give init_t more power, and this is messing with the base system which should already have sane defaults...

Sane defaults policies may have different meanings depending on the environments. So you'll have to set custom policies.

About your log :
- Some warnings do not necessarily block a program. search permission may in some cases be one of them.
Besides network-manager with its multiple hooks, may not be the best way to prevent warnings.
- You have a AVC message with unlabeled_t. SELinux is based on file label, so you have to clean up that before. I think something was wrong during your installation. Try to relabel : https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/SELinux/Installation#Relabel

Thanks! I relabeled the system (although I thought I have done it before) and replaced networkmanager with systemd-networkd, hopefully it is simpler.

The first error messages are:
Code:
Nov 14 19:55:29 gentoo kernel: audit: type=1400 audit(1731614129.280:3): avc:  denied  { setattr } for  pid=1 comm="systemd" name="chr" dev="tmpfs" ino=11 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:init_runtime_t tclass=chr_file permissive=1
Nov 14 19:55:29 gentoo kernel: audit: type=1400 audit(1731614129.280:4): avc:  denied  { setattr } for  pid=1 comm="systemd" name="blk" dev="tmpfs" ino=12 scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:init_runtime_t tclass=blk_file permissive=1

Does it mean I'm doing something wrong?
