That has another disadvantage, though: all the false-positive denials would then fill up the audit log (the frequency can be quite high), i.e. either taking up extra space on disk or pushing out other, potentially valuable, audit records. Not to mention the CPU cycles wasted by the audit stack to process the records. Dontaudit by default + semodule -DB for debugging is IMHO the only reasonable compromise. Anyway, this is getting off-topic w,r,t. the proposal. Please start a new thread if you want to continue discussing dontaudit rules. -- Ondrej Mosnacek Software Engineer, Platform Security - SELinux kernel Red Hat, Inc. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
