selinux-policy-default

[Chris Vanden Berghe]

Hi,

Already mentioned this quickly on #selinux, but thought it would useful
to put it on the mailing list with some more info too.

I tried installing the new selinux version for kernel 2.6.0-test11 under
Debian.  Started by installing libselinux1 from Russells newselinux
archives, this worked just fine.  But when afterwards I tried installing
selinux-policy-default, then I got the error message below:

dpkg --install
/var/cache/apt/archives/selinux-policy-default_1%3a1.2.real-13_all.deb

dpkg: error processing selinux-policy-default (--install):
1Error running trigger postinst: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:

Does anybody know how/when the /etc/selinux directory is supposed to be
created?

Tnx,
Chris.

I had a similiar error when I upgraded. I _think_ you can just manually
create an empty dir and it should work. Try that. If it doesn't, yell
again and I'll try to recreate the steps I took to get it running.

I tried this, and got the following error (probably stemming from the 
fact that this dir is empty?):

# mkdir /etc/selinux

/etc/selinux is a sym-link to /usr/share/selinux/policy/current/ and is 
created on installation of the selinux-policy-default package.

Did you remove and re-install the package?

Yeah, looks like the same problem I've got. It has to
do with a package install hook that doesn't seem to 
work under non-selinux systems. Won't guarantee that
is a correct statement as I've been busy on other
things and have spent time to properly dig into it.

Hm, ok. I'm not at home at the moment, so I don't have access to my
play machine. So it's all from memory.

The problem is that you're updating. One thing you can also try is to
(re)move the old /usr/share/selinux directory, remove the /etc/selinux
and do a clean re-install.

I'll check when I get home, but that might be late today.

I don't have '/usr/share/selinux/policy/current/' either, but I do have
'/usr/share/selinux/policy/default/'.  Should I link /etc/selinux to
this '.../default/' dir?

>Did you remove and re-install the package?

Yes, but I did use --purge, so I expected that all configuration files
would have been deleted by this.

And, as Dave suggested, I'm currently installing this under a
non-selinux kernel (since the selinux one doesn't boot: it complains
that it cannot find the policy file :-( ).  So the idea was to install
all the selinux related packages under a non-selinux kernel and to
afterwards boot with the selinux kernel.

Cheers,
Chris.

No.  Copy what you want from the default directory to the current directory 
then make a symlink.  Having the symlink point to the default directory won't 
do any good.

I think I had the same issue. It appears some things are left behind.
Try --purge again and check if both /etc/selinux and /usr/share/selinux
have gone.

You might want to check my step-by-step howto at
http://selinux.lemuria.org and check if you've done all that.

Tnx, this worked.

I'd be happy to do some testing if you have a new version of the 
selinux-policy-default package available that addresses this issue.

Cheers,
Chris.

selinux-policy-default

[Eric Estabrooks]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 888 bytes --]

I'm running debian unstable with a 2.6.2 kernel se-enabled.  I was 
following the new selinux how to ( 
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=20372&group_id=21266 
) and I've gotten stuck on the selinux-policy-default install.  It seems 
that the types for xxx_locate_t aren't defined.

[ snip lots of yes/no questions ]
Installing the new SE Linux policy
/usr/bin/checkpolicy:  loading policy configuration from 
/etc/security/selinux/src/policy.conf
domains/admin.te:32:ERROR 'unknown type sysadm_locate_t' at token ';' on 
line 5974:
allow sysadm_locate_t { sysadm_mozilla_ro_t sysadm_mozilla_rw_t }:dir { 
getattr
search };

I searched for type lines for sysadm_locate_t but couldn't find any in 
any of the .te files and I don't know what they should look like to 
generate my own.  Can someone point me to documentation that would 
explain these types?

Thanks,

Eric

I came across similar problem yesterday evening.  I think problem is that
*_locate_t domains are not created in user_domain and admin_domain macros.
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=231343 , there you can
find simple patch which solved problem for me.  Can anyone look at it and
tell if my solution is correct?

I'll upload a new policy package to fix that tomorrow.

Anyway using the locate policy for Debian is not a good idea.  Debian does not 
have a SE Linux patched locate and is not likely to have one in the 
forseeable future.  I think that locate is simply a bad idea and have no 
plans to support it in Debian.

Look at macros/program/locate_macros.te .

Easiest thing to do is remove slocate.te from domain/program and  then 
do a make reload.
