Hi, I'm running Centos 5 32bit and installed openvpn-2.0.9-1.el5.rf from Dag Wieers Repo. When OpenVPN is started during boot-up it just shows an SElinux related error message and does not start. When I start OpenVPN manually after the system has come up completely it works fine. Please have a look at the log extract at the end of this email for all SElinux related messages. I already reported this problem to the Centos and SElinux mailing lists. Daniel Walsh (SElinux guru) had the following suggestions: > Easiest thing to do is update policy with these two rules. > > # grep openvpn /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M myopenvpn > # semodule -i myopenvpn.pp > > This will add the following rules: > allow openvpn_t pppd_t:fd use; > allow openvpn_t self:process execstack; > > The pppd_t:fd is probably a leaked file descriptor and could probably be > dontaudited. > The execstack is potentially a problem in openvpn_t. This is probably a > coding problem and should be reported as a bug/ > > SELinux Memory Protection Tests > <http://people.redhat.com/%7Edrepper/selinux-mem.html> So he suggests that the execstack errors come from a bug in OpenVPN. Here are all the messages from /var/log/messages that are SElinux related: May 28 21:39:15 srsblnfw01 kernel: audit(1180381151.395:10): avc: denied { use } for pid=3012 comm="openvpn" name="null" dev=tmpfs ino=1396 scontext=system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tclass=fd May 28 21:39:15 srsblnfw01 kernel: audit(1180381151.395:11): avc: denied { use } for pid=3012 comm="openvpn" name="null" dev=tmpfs ino=1396 scontext=system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tclass=fd May 28 21:39:15 srsblnfw01 kernel: audit(1180381151.395:12): avc: denied { use } for pid=3012 comm="openvpn" name="null" dev=tmpfs ino=1396 scontext=system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tclass=fd May 28 21:39:15 srsblnfw01 kernel: audit(1180381151.458:13): avc: denied { execstack } for pid=3012 comm="openvpn" scontext=system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 tclass=process May 28 21:39:15 srsblnfw01 kernel: audit(1180381151.465:14): avc: denied { use } for pid=3014 comm="openvpn" name="null" dev=tmpfs ino=1396 scontext=system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tclass=fd May 28 21:39:15 srsblnfw01 kernel: audit(1180381151.465:15): avc: denied { use } for pid=3014 comm="openvpn" name="null" dev=tmpfs ino=1396 scontext=system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tclass=fd May 28 21:39:15 srsblnfw01 kernel: audit(1180381151.465:16): avc: denied { use } for pid=3014 comm="openvpn" name="null" dev=tmpfs ino=1396 scontext=system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tclass=fd May 28 21:39:15 srsblnfw01 kernel: audit(1180381151.466:17): avc: denied { execstack } for pid=3014 comm="openvpn" scontext=system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:openvpn_t:s0 tclass=process May 28 21:40:06 srsblnfw01 setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/openvpn (openvpn_t) "execstack" access to <Unknown> (openvpn_t).
