SELinux Mailing ListCron

I have a small problem. I am creating a new domain for the amanda backup. I created the user amanda and have created an amanda domain. I can login on as the user amanda and backup what I need ok. When I place the back up in the crontab It will not execute. I get an ENTRYPOINT error on the crontab file for amanda. Looking at the modified source for the crontab the selinux is checking permisssion on the execute permission. The questions is What permission is it looking for. The amanda user can execute the program with no error messages.

Also, please verify that your security context is set properly when you login (run 'id' or 'ps --context'). And make sure that you aren't running a X Display Manager, as I mentioned in my prior email to James Bishop.

It cares about your role and domain. Yes, this should work remotely (unless you change the policy to prohibit it). You can test it while still in permissive mode - simply try it and check /var/log/messages and the output of dmesg for any messages.
> 3. SSH no longer recognizes my authorized keys --- I must always enter a The utils Makefile only installs the modified sshd, not the rest of the package, since we only modified sshd. So if you were using a different version of OpenSSH, you might have a compatibility problem. The openssh package provided with SELinux is the default one provided with RedHat 7.1 with the SELinux modifications. If you are using a newer version of OpenSSH, then I would suggest porting the SELinux patch forward to the newer version (and please feed the resulting patch back to us). If you are using an older version of OpenSSH, then I would suggest doing a 'make install' in the openssh-2.5.2p2-5 directory and then doing a 'make relabel' in the utils directory. -- Stephen D.
