Posted: Wed Jan 05, 2005 9:54 pm Post subject: [SELinux] Trouble Logging in Remotely Using SSH |
|
|
I'm having trouble with logging in remotely using SSH after copying my version of Hardened Gentoo with SELinux to a new hard drive. After copying the old drive to the new one, I rebooted and ran `make relabel`. Everything seems to work fine except for sshd, which worked before I swappep drives. I even tried following the instrucitons in http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/selinux/selinux-x86-handbook.xml?part=5&chap=3.
I tried the following based on the guide:
| Code: | # rlpkg openssh
# /etc/init.d/sshd restart |
I still get the following output for `sestatus -v`, which has the incorrect context type for /usr/sbin/sshd:
| Code: | ]SELinux status: enabled
SELinuxfs mount: /selinux
Current mode: permissive
Policy version: 15
Process contexts:
Current context: matin:sysadm_r:sysadm_t
Init context: system_u:system_r:init_t
/sbin/agetty system_u:system_r:getty_t
/usr/sbin/sshd system_u:system_r:initrc_t ###This should be system_u:system_r:sshd_t
File contexts:
Controlling term: matin:object_r:sysadm_devpts_t
/sbin/init system_u:object_r:init_exec_t
/sbin/agetty system_u:object_r:getty_exec_t
/bin/login system_u:object_r:login_exec_t
/usr/sbin/sshd system_u:object_r:sshd_exec_t
/sbin/unix_chkpwd system_u:object_r:chkpwd_exec_t
/etc/passwd system_u:object_r:etc_t
/etc/shadow system_u:object_r:shadow_t
/bin/sh system_u:object_r:bin_t -> system_u:object_r:shell_exec_t
/bin/bash system_u:object_r:shell_exec_t
/bin/tcsh system_u:object_r:shell_exec_t
/bin/csh system_u:object_r:bin_t -> system_u:object_r:shell_exec_t
/bin/sash system_u:object_r:shell_exec_t
/usr/bin/gdm system_u:object_r:bin_t
/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm system_u:object_r:bin_t
/lib/libc.so.6 system_u:object_r:lib_t -> system_u:object_r:shlib_t
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 system_u:object_r:lib_t -> system_u:object_r:ld_so_t |
Is this the cause of the problem, if so, how do I fix it?

I can get sshd to start i the proper context by using the following:
| Code: | | # runcon system_u:system_r:sshd_t /usr/sbin/sshd |
However, I still get the following error in my sshd log:
| Code: | | [sshd] fatal: Failed to get default security context for matin. |
What useful information can I gather from this? |

I have resolved a problem similar to this one. I was getting that fatal error message when trying to log in with any non-root user.
I followed the handbook's troubleshooting section and didn't get any success initially. However, I have realized that my problem was not fixed because I was running
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/sshd restart | instead of | Code: | | run_init /etc/init.d/sshd restart |
I'm running selinux in permissive mode. According to ssh still isn't labelled correctly, but it is working. |

| I wasn't able to login remotely after making a new policy and restarting sshd. I tried your suggestion and can now login fine, while the labeling didnt change at all. Can anyone explain for someone new to selinux what the difference was that resolved this? |
