HI All I have to configure the Role-based access control (RBAC) for smbldap user. How should i set the roles for users and which policy i should use? Now i am using MLS Policy for configure the RBAC. I am not sure this the correct way for configure the RBAC on CentOS 5.1. Please help me what i am going wrong.

But I don't think that is relevant any more - you already manually relabeled. <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> > 4.

Elsewhere you said you are using ldap, so they may need additional permissions for the network lookup. <div class="Ih2E3d"> > 5) I am using sysadm_r > > [root@turtle11 ~]# id > uid=0(root) gid=0(root) > groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel) > context=root:sysadm_r:sysadm_t:SystemLow-SystemHigh > [root@turtle11 ~]# > > 6) This is i am getting /sbin/ausearch log messages. > > [root@turtle11 ~]#/sbin/ausearch -i -m AVC -sv no > type=SYSCALL msg=audit(06/11/2008 20:01:29.285:130367) : arch=x86_64 > syscall=recvfrom success=no exit=-13(Permission denied) a0=5 > a1=7fff60825b40 a2=5dc a3=0 items=0 ppid=1 pid=3103 auid=root uid=root > gid=root euid=root suid=root fsuid=root egid=root sgid=root fsgid=root > tty=(none) comm=dhcpd exe=/usr/sbin/dhcpd > subj=root:sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 key=(null) > type=AVC msg=audit(06/11/2008 20:01:29.285:130367) : avc: denied > { read } for pid=3103 comm=dhcpd lport=1 > scontext=root:sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 > tcontext=root:sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0-s15:c0.c1023 tclass=rawip_socket </div>On this one, as I said, dhcpd shouldn't be running in sysadm_t.
