running Linus kernel on FC3

running Linus kernel on FC3

[Dave Airlie]

I'm trying to run a linus bk tree on my FC3 system, but I get a lot of
Selinux warnings with minilogd,

Are there some selinux patches that haven't made their way into Linus's
tree but are in the FC kernel?

I don't mind running without Selinux but I like to keep my .config as
close to the FC one as possible..

Dave.

This would be a lot easier to answer if you actually told us what the warnings were.

Also, you might want to check at the fedora-selinux list:

http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list

and if that doesn't help, the selinux@tycho.nsa.govmailing list...

Well I thought people might be seeing the same things... it's just Linus
kernel with FC3 config....

lots of things like:.. some ntpd ones as well..
audit(1104309139.067:0): avc:  denied  { write } for  pid=3222
exe=/sbin/minilogd name=/ dev=tmpfs ino=464
scontext=user_u:system_r:syslogd_t tcontext=user_u:object_r:tmpfs_t
tclass=dir

RH have said before that they try to keep their Fedora kernels as close to
Linus as possible, just wondering is this one area they've gone their own
way..

Just install the kernel source RPM and look at the patches.

But, this is a bit OT for LKML, try the Fedora lists.

Much more likely that these are fixed in more recent updates to the actual
policy, which is loaded into the kernel at startup.  Relevant RPMS:

selinux-policy-strict-1.19.15-9.noarch.rpm
selinux-policy-strict-sources-1.19.15-9.noarch.rpm
selinux-policy-targeted-1.19.15-9.noarch.rpm
selinux-policy-targeted-sources-1.19.15-9.noarch.rpm

(Those are the current ones in the fedora-devel tree as of about 24 hours ago).

As of 2.6.10 none I can think of. 2.6.9 lacked SELinux security
attributes on tmpfs which was a problem if you ran SELinux seriously.
Needless to say 2.6.9-ac and 2.6.10-ac kernels are built and tested on
Fedora Core 2 and 3 along with 2.6.10 base and all worked fine for me.
