1 When I emerge a package it fails to run setfiles. It says "permission
2 denied". Avc messages appear in the logs. I am doing a "newrole -r
3 portage_r" prior to running emerge. When I confirmed that I cannot execute
4 /usr/sbin/setfiles from the root:portate_r:portage_t context. I also
5 confirmed that the rule "allow portage_t setfiles_exec_t:file {read getattr
6 lock execute ioctl }" is in the /etc/security/selinux/src/policy.conf file.
7 I also manually ran checkpolicy and compiled policy.conf to a tmp file and
8 diffed it with /etc/security/selinux/policy.15. They are the same.

10 I am using selinux-base-policy-20031010-r1.

12 So, what am I missing. I read the rules pertaining to portage_t, setfiles_t
13 and setfiles_exec_t and it seems to indicate that portage_t should be able
14 to run setfiles. I'm still learning the policy so it's possible I missed
15 something.
