I found a bug in Webmin when using Webmin with SELinux in Permissive Mode. The author of Webmin, asked me, in their bug tracker on SourceForge:
> Ok, thanks ... I see the problem. Webmin opens the log file > /var/webmin/miniserv.error and connects STDERR to it, then runs other > commands like iptables, which inherits the STDERR file descriptor. > This is generally a good thing, as any error output from the iptables > command will go to that log file. > > But with selinux enabled, this fails as iptables doesn't have the > security context needed to write to that file. > Is there a chcon option or other command that can allow a file to be > written by any process? If so, I should update Webmin to run that on > the error log file. I replied that I'm a newbie and could he clarify, in newbie terms, what he would like me to find. He then replied: > Unfortunately I am a newbie when it comes to selinux too :-( > What I am looking for is a way to selinux that any process can write > to a file. I suspect that the chcon command can do this, but am not > sure how.. SELinux people: Can you explain what he needs? <https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=117457&aid=1781101&group_id=17457> TIA!
