Please paste the output of: rpm -q --whatprovides `which screen` There is no upstream version 4.14, nor am I seeing anything tagged as 4.14-3 internally. Also, our screen package should be using ~/.screen/ for its socket directory, not /tmp/uscreens/. Sorry, the version number was a typo. Here is the correct information: [greg@dell8100 greg]$ rpm -q --whatprovides `which screen` screen-4.0.1-4 [greg@dell8100 greg]$ uname -a Linux dell8100 2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1 #1 Fri Mar 12 14:01:55 EST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux [greg@dell8100 greg]$ screen Cannot make directory '/tmp/screens': Permission denied This was a fresh install on a spare hard drive. Created attachment 99054 [details]
SELinux audit2allow output (what screen can't access)
This appears to be a policy issue with SELinux. For now, you can type (as
root:sysadm_r:sysadm_t): "setenforce 0" to get screen running.
Obvious note: ignore xdm_t line. Adding 'tmp_domain($1_screen)' to macros/program/screen_macros.te gets
further:
$ screen
audit(1080990982.120:0): avc: denied { read } for pid=3266
exe=/usr/bin/screen name=xterm dev=hdb1 ino=1171500
scontext=user_u:user_r:user_screen_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t
tclass=file
Cannot find terminfo entry for 'xterm'.
Perhaps this is /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm?
Adding 'allow $1_screen_t usr_t:file { read };' to
macros/program/screen_macros.te fixes this, and makes screen start up
with no problems.
Don't know if terminfo files should have any special file contexts.
Added fixes in policy-1.9.2-10. Lon lets sit down on Monday and work our way through the rest of these. Dan Please reopen if you are still having difficulties. Thanks. |
