How to create custom SELinux module on linux box?

Posted on 06:54 by Unknown
Background scenario :

Here sftp was setup on linux box and sshd was not allowing sftp users to access their directories. Following messages found in audit.log:
----
type=CRED_ACQ msg=audit(1314648699.931:26195): user pid=25524 uid=0 auid=503 ses=671 subj=unconfined_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 msg='op=PAM:setcred acct="user" exe="/usr/sbin/sshd" hostname=kmaiti.pnq.redhat.com addr=10.65.192.160 terminal=ssh res=success'
type=AVC msg=audit(1314648699.931:26196): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=25524 comm="sshd" path="/chroots" dev=dm-0 ino=34612 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0 tclass=dir
----

To allow source context to target once I created a custom module and loaded it in SELinux .

#grep sshd_t /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -m sftplocal > sftplocal.te
#checkmodule -M -m -o sftplocal.mod sftplocal.te
#semodule_package -o sftplocal.pp -m sftplocal.mod
#semodule -i sftplocal.pp
#semodule -l |grep sftplocal

To unload module do:

#semodule module -d --disable sftplocal.pp

Try. You'll now be able to login using sftp user.
