Hi
I'm trying to create an SELinux policy for an rpm software
installation. I've been getting sealerts in the var/log/messages
but I am unable to view them due to this error,
[root@nmk-centos-60-1 policy]# sealert -l
6a6e02bc-23a7-4e55-adab-b06d0cdc2832
Error
query_alerts error (1003): id
(6a6e02bc-23a7-4e55-adab-b06d0cdc2832) not found
The problem is the alert has been already deleted from
setroubleshoot_database.xml.
Is there a timeframe for the xml overwrites ?
I believe this has to do with the setroubleshoot daemon not
running.
setroubleshoot is DBus service in RHEL6.
OK. That explains it.
[root@nmk-centos-60-1 policy]# service setroubleshoot status
setroubleshoot: unrecognized service
[root@nmk-centos-60-1 policy]# service --status-all | grep setro
I have the setroubleshoot softwares installed
[root@nmk-centos-60-1 policy]# rpm -qa | grep setroubles

I don't see the setroubleshoot rpms creating any init script file
in init.d or elsewhere.

1) Did I miss anything with regards to the troubleshooting daemon
installation ?
2) How can I fix the query alert error and view the sealert output
?
I see that you use MLS policy. I would suggest you to use ausearch
tool rather than setroubleshoot in MLS policy.
I wanted to formulate the rules for a custom rpm. When using the targeted policy, I could not see any denials. So I switched to MLS to identify the AVC denials. My approach is to log the AVC denials during rpm installation, and apply the audit2allow on those denials and formulate the policy. Is this workable ?
The policies for running the software can be different and I plan to have that as a second stage. I just want to have the installation part getting on fine with a targeted policy.
Another question, is MLS a namechange for the "strict" type used earlier. Any links that explains the difference ?
For example:
$ ausearch -m avc -ts recent
$ ausearch -m avc -ts today
$ ausearch -m avc -su testdomain_t
This works, but I wanted to read the descriptive text about the denials that shows up in sealert.*
All AVC msgs are located in /var/log/audit/audit.log.
