RE: Question

Hi Lukas,

I am you could say brand new to SEL in all fairness and given how security paranoid I am about my systems I am glad I am starting to work with it.

I am using a very stock and out of the box policy with nothing change.

A friend of mine who works with SEL himself gave me the two commands mentioned.

Another question that stems off this should I just give the necessary rw access to the folders that will need to be updated?

Regards,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

Can you please share the reproducer ? Also, can you please share SELinux denials you saw in past (maybe they're still in audit.log) ?

From your e-mail it's hard to decide what really happened on the system.
 Btw. Did you changed value of any httpd_* boolean?
Please attach output of:
# semanage boolean -l | grep httpd

Thanks,
Lukas.
