From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Message-ID: <43699220.1060100@anchor.com.au> Date: Thu, 03 Nov 2005 15:29:20 +1100 From: Oliver Hookins MIME-Version: 1.0 To: SELinux@tycho.nsa.gov Subject: Transitions using su command Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Sender: owner-selinux@tycho.nsa.gov List-Id: selinux@tycho.nsa.gov I'm having some funny behaviour from one of our init scripts. We're running a multi-user tomcat environment, which as part of its init script runs a command like the following: su - $USER -c "$TOMCAT_SCRIPT start < /dev/null >& /dev/null" If you run this as root, replacing the variables with the appropriate values, the command runs as expected without any problems. If you run the init script using the service command it prompts the following: Your default context is user_u:system_r:unconfined_t. Do you want to choose a different one? [n] If you just press enter here, it goes back to the bash prompt and seems to succeed, however it worries me that when run automatically at startup and shutdown it might fail. Is there some sort of transition configuration I am missing, or something I can change to allow this transition? -- Thanks, Oliver -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
