openssh

[Timothy Wood]

After installing the version of ssh that comes with SELinux I am unable
to connect to the machine.  I've followed the instructions in the
README.privsep to make sure everything is setup and still nothing.  I
tried a make install to reinstall it and I noticed that the install
reports that the sshd user is not setup despite the fact that it does
output the user id information for the sshd user when it calls id sshd
from the script.  There are no avc or log messages generated (other than
the normal ssh connect failed message) in enforcing or permissive mode. 
I'd assume that this is a problem installing ssh since it doesn't even
work in permissive mode.  Any ideas as to what I've done wrong?

Timothy,

I assume that you restarted sshd (either by rebooting or by running
run_init /etc/init.d/sshd restart)?  Are you using the latest release
(2002082308, 23 August 2002) or the previous one (2002070313, 3 July
2002)?  Did you download from the NSA SELinux web site or the sourceforge
CVS tree?

I had to reboot because run_init has quit working for some reason, which
I hadn't noticed.  run_init is being denied transition.  BTW I had to
make my own /etc/init.d/sshd file because when I removed the RPMS for
the stock openssh it took that file with it. (I should have copied it
somewhere else before I removed the rpms but I forgot to do that) 
Anyhow I can send the avc message for the run_init later because I do
not have time right now, but as I previously mentioned the sshd is not
leaving any messages so I don't know if that'll be of any use unless the
problems are related somehow.

Previous release.  NSA site.

Timothy,
