I am running an F9 system with SELinux enabled on a laptop. I recently installed kismet (yum install kismet) to check local wireless channels so I can ensure my AP does not conflict with other boxes nearby.
I made the usual mods to the config files to set up sources etc and change the suiduser but when I try to run kismet as root (in exactly the same way as previously on boxes with SElinux disabled), I get an avc denial and on the terminal I get: FATAL: Could not open SSID track file '/home/mike/ssid_map': permision denied. The SELinux denial contains a Summary: SELinux is preventing the kismet_server from using potentially mislabeled files (./ssid_map). It suggested using restorecon but this makes no difference. The context remains as previously: system_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 I removed the file and tried again but kismet won't start if the file is absent. I also tried to use chcon to set the context for this file - and this also makes no difference - at least with the contexts I tried for kismet_log_t and kismet_t is not permitted. Can anyone suggest how I might work around this? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Kismet-and-SELinux-tp20457544p20457544.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
