Hi I am attempting to run slimserver 6.5.4 (rpm) on Fedora 8 with SE Linux enforcing.
I issued the chcon instruction for FC5 given here: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?RPM but without success. I then disabled SE Linux and was able to get slimserver working OK. When I then set SE Linux to enforcing again it stopped the slimserver start up from working. The SE Linux messages were (extract): 'The slimserver.pl application attempted to load /usr/local/slimserver/CPAN/arch/5.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so which requires text relocation. This is a potential security problem. Most libraries do not need this permission. Libraries are sometimes coded incorrectly and request this permission."' and: 'If you trust /usr/local/slimserver/CPAN/arch/5.8/i386-linux-thread- multi/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so to run correctly, you can change the file context to textrel_shlib_t. "chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/local/slimserver/CPAN/arch/5.8/i386-linux-thread- multi/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so"' and: 'You must also change the default file context files on the system in order to preserve them even on a full relabel. "semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/local/slimserver/CPAN/arch/5.8/i386-linux-thread- multi/auto/DBD/mysql/mysql.so"' These instructions worked in as much as these particular errors went away but it lead to the following message (after a re-boot): 'SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/useradd (useradd_t) "setattr" to (usr_t). SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/useradd. It is not expected that this access is required by /usr/sbin/useradd and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access.' SE Linux suggested 'restorecon -v' but this did not work. It looks as though a fix might not be too complex but I am new to Linux and even newer on SE Linux. This query may belong in beginners forum but this one seemed more appropriate since with SE Linux disabled slimserver seems to work fine. Has anyone solved this or can they suggest a solution to try? Many thanks in advance...
