Description Jakub Jelen 2016-11-10 10:22:39 UTC
Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.13.1-191.19.fc24.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove the /run/systemd/journal/dev-log
2. Restart system-journald
3. Or play with the systemd-journald-dev-log.socket (turn off and on)

Actual results:
Socket is not created and logging does not work.

Expected results:
The socket should be created and logging working

#============= init_t ==============
allow init_t devlog_t:sock_file create;


---------
The logging socket dev-log can be created by systemd in socket activation (in the ListenDatagram option in the socket above), so this systemd should be able to create it.

Comment 1 Jakub Jelen 2016-11-10 10:28:27 UTC
This is a problem in all other Fedoras and most probably in RHEL7 too (needs investigation)

Comment 2 Jakub Jelen 2016-11-10 13:07:48 UTC
Probably related to the other issue I can see in the logs about the unlink when calling

# systemctl restart systemd-journald systemd-journald-dev-log.socket

results in 

# audit2allow

#============= init_t ==============
allow init_t devlog_t:sock_file unlink;


Please, add also this one.
