That doesn't matter. For the normal targeted policy
only the last part of 
the policy listing is important (named_log_t in this case).


Cheers,

PS: Please trim your mails


That did it. Its a wonder how upstream never fix these issues, 
considering the average admin would like to log dns queries

in a chroot. As for trimming the mail its a while since I was
on the mailing list, but I remembered not to top post. :-)


When I asked about a similar problem a while back, the SELinux folks
told me that bind-chroot was not supported under SELinux because
SELinux already provides better protection.

That is wrong. Every release of Fedora comes out and people ask how to 
configure bind to work in a chroot with selinux enabled. As Fedora is a
testbed for upstream, we should have these things ironed out. Possibly having a 
separate SELinux/Docs mailing list means they may not be aware of what is going 
on in the mainstream. 

Some of the old Fedora Docs are informative. Even a work in progress like
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/AdministrationGuide/Servers/DNSBIND/BINDChroot

shows bind-chroot can work with SELinux

Can work, yes.  Does upstream care that it doesn't install and work
cleanly, no.  That's the word I got from upstream (fedora-selinux-list).

bind-chroot works fine.  The question is not if it work but if you are 
configuring it to work in that environment.  With SELinux running and bind in 
a chroot environment it is allowed to write to slave/ and data/ (this is 
going from memory haven't had to setup bind-chroot in some time)  As long as 
you setup your logging to data/ it will log everything and not complain.  
Only when you setup a custom server do you have issues.
