No policy yet. I think I just need file_contexts to go along with the standard ones: /srv/([^/]*/)?www(/.*)? system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 /var/www(/.*)? system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 /var/www(/.*)?/logs(/.*)? system_u:object_r:httpd_log_t:s0 /var/www/[^/]*/cgi-bin(/.*)? system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0 /var/www/perl(/.*)? system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0 /var/www/icons(/.*)? system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 /var/www/html/[^/]*/cgi-bin(/.*)? system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0 /var/www/cgi-bin(/.*)? system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0 I found that Debian has pretty well-defined (draft) guidelines for web applications: http://webapps-common.alioth.debian.org/draft/html/ that standardizes on /usr/share/PACKAGE/www for static content and /usr/lib/cgi-bin/PACKAGE for arch-dependent dynamically executed content. If we could come up with a similiar standard, then we could add standard SELinux file_contexts to deal with it, such as: /usr/share/[^/]*/www(/.*)? system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 /usr/share/[^/]*/cgi-bin(/.*)? system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0 /usr//lib(64)?/[^/]*/cgi-bin(/.*)? system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
