Hello,
While troubleshooting my server in enforcing mode, I have come
across many files and directory in /etc which are not labelled and thus, I
am getting permission denied while using the root account:
johnson ~ # ls -Z /etc/ | grep "(null)"
ls: cannot access /etc/rsyncd.conf: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/env.d: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/make.conf: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/shadow: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/gshadow: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/lilo.conf.example: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/lilo.conf: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/audit: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/lilo.conf_example: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/portage: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/bind: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/shadow-: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/gshadow-: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/mail: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/dovecot: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/postfix: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/crontab: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/cron.d: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/fetchmailrc: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/samba: Permission denied
ls: cannot access /etc/adjtime: Permission denied
all of these directory and files are not labelled as demonstrated below for
a particular set of daemon.
(null) samba
(null) dovecot
(null) bind
I have tried running the application rlpkg -a -r without success and also, I
have tried the command chcon but it won't let me relabel those directory
(while in enforcing mode). Is there any ways to fix that?
Thanks
Alain Toussaint
