The policy file for passwd (passwd.fc) has this: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
/usrbin/passwd -- system_u:object_r:passwd_exec_t |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
However, in shadow-4.0.5-r2, the real passwd is in /bin and |
| 6 |
/usr/bin/passwd is a symlink. /bin/passwd has a |
| 7 |
system_u:object_r:bin_t context (hope I'm getting the terminology |
| 8 |
right here). As a result, you get "token manipulation errors". The |
| 9 |
denial is for /etc/.pwd.lock, which is system_u:object_r:shadow_t. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Changing the above entry from /usr/bin/passwd to /bin/passwd, doing a |
| 12 |
make load, and relabeling /bin so that /bin/passwd has |
| 13 |
system_u:object_r:passwd_exec_t fixes the problem. |
| 14 |

Is this the correct fix? I feel like I am still stumbling in the dark |
| 16 |
with SELinux, but this looks like a problem in selinux-base-policy. I |
| 17 |
have sec-policy/selinux-base-policy-20040906. |
