Hi Stephen, With all the kind help from you and Justin, I finally made the latest refpolicy-2.20091117 boot up successfully! Hat off for you two :-) Please see my embedded replies, thanks! > Subject: RE: [refpolicy] Bootup problem with refpolicy-2.20091117 - 3: MAKEDEV ok but /var/lock/subsys/ broken > From: sds@tycho.nsa.gov > To: harrytaurus2002@hotmail.com > CC: refpolicy@oss1.tresys.com; selinux@tycho.nsa.gov > Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2010 10:35:45 -0500 > > On Mon, 2010-01-25 at 09:32 +0000, TaurusHarry wrote: > > Hi Stephen and Justin, > > > > I have got some new findings after I sent out the previous email.

Yeah, I created a policy store and then do semodule -DB and reboot, I found AVC denied messages about domains of sendmail_t, hostname_t, quota_t, dmesg_t lack the read privilege against console_device_t, which is expected because we have called term_dontaudit_use_console() interface for these domains. Since so far we have identified that my problem is rooted with getty_t, so I went on to take a quick glance at getty.te and very suprisingly found this dontaudit interface has been called for getty_t too! For me I am trying to login my target through a serial console, rather than any tty device, so I assume the getty_t should be granted all necessary privileges to operate the console. Once I removed the term_dontaudit_use_console(getty_t) I could find following AVC denied message: type=1400 audit(1264520547.936:68): avc: denied { noatsecure } for pid=2292 comm="login" scontext=system_u:system_r:getty_t:s0-s15:c0.c255 tcontext=system_u:system_r:local_login_t:s0-s15:c0.c255 tclass=process which I guess is right the root cause to my problem. Once I replaced it by term_use_console(getty_t), I finally could login successfully! This problem made me sleepless for like 10 days and I would like to take this opportunity to summarize it here: 1. use enforcing=0 bootparam if unable to login selinux, then dmesg all those AVC denied messages for potential extra TE rules; 2. problem could be caused by files not being properly labeled, as well as necessary TE rules are missing. In my case many domains has no search right against tmpfs_t, however, tmpfs_t doesn't exist even in file_contexts, this indicates tmpfs filesystem has not been properly labeled. It turns out start_udev should have labeled tmpfs once it mounts tmpfs on /dev; 3, if perblem persists but no relevant AVC denied messsage could be referenced, use semodule -DB to rebuild policy and remove all those dontaudit rules, or remove the call to some dontaudit interface in the related .te, so thar SELinux could throw out as many AVC denied messages as possible. Next, I will go on play with the latest refpolicy package and bring up the extra necessary TE rules I find. Thank you so very much, again!
