A bit of packaging help is needed for suphp

[Andreas Thienemann]

Hi,

I'm currently preparing an update for mod_suphp in FE.
suphp works similar to suexec for the apache httpd, only that it is 
designed with php scripts in mind.


The execution works similar to suexec: A php-script on the webserver is 
accessed, for which the mod_suphp module is configured.
The modules executes /usr/sbin/suphp, which drops privileges to the user 
owning the file and executes the php-cgi binary, feeding the generated 
content back to the server.


I want this to work with the targeted selinux policy. Right now, the httpd 
error log shows:

[Sat Sep 09 06:05:36 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (13)Permission 
denied: couldn't create child process: /usr/sbin/suphp for
/home/andreas/public_html/test.php

I tried relabeling the suphp binary with httpd_suexec_exec_t but this 
doesn't seem to help at all.
Strangely, I'm not seeing anything related in the audit.log.


A helpful user added a preliminary selinux policy to bugzilla for 
mod_suphp.

It'd be great, if someone knowledgable could take a look at it and 
comment.



bye,
