Ok, then take follow-ups to fedora-selinux-list please.

The rule above.  Rather than removing it entirely, you could adjust it
to make a specific exception for this case.  What do you truly need your
process to be able to do?

This one will also get in your process' way if it truly needs to operate
on unconfined processes.

Naturally, if you go too far in this direction, you are effectively
removing any real restriction on httpd and might as well just disable
its protection altogether (via the corresponding boolean).

Hi Stephen.

I've moved the conversation over to the selinux list. My program is
actually Beltane which is a web front end for managing samhain ( a
filesystem integrity checker). The point at which the problem arises
is when a setuid binary (belatne_cp) wants to write to a file it
creates in the /tmp directory and then it wants to move that file to
the /var/lib/yule/profiles directory. Its at this point I get the
selinux error:

Feb  7 14:26:10 jupiter kernel: audit(1170858370.177:2547): avc:
denied  { getsession } for  pid=555 comm="httpd"
scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=root:system_r:unconfined_t
tclass=process
Feb  7 14:26:27 jupiter kernel: audit(1170858387.985:2548): avc:
denied  { getattr } for  pid=14295 comm="beltane_cp"
name="TMPFILIyEqoa" dev=sda3 ino=147699
scontext=root:system_r:httpd_sys_script_t
tcontext=root:object_r:httpd_var_lib_t tclass=file

This beltane_cp file is called by apache.

Hope this helps in making clear what I'm trying to do.

Thanks again
Dan
