Description Konstantin Ryabitsev 2004-03-29 21:55:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
SELinux enforcement disables remote server logging for syslog,
creating the following entries in messages:

Mar 29 13:25:56 hagrid kernel: audit(1080584756.667:0): avc:  denied 
{ name_bind } for  pid=3162 exe=/sbin/syslogd src=832
scontext=root:system_r:syslogd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:port_t
tclass=udp_socket

It looks like the default policy should allow this, as remote logging
is used quite often.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sysklogd-1.4.1-14
Comment 1 Konstantin Ryabitsev 2004-03-30 20:36:18 UTC 
Adding the following to
/etc/security/selinux/src/policy/domains/program/syslogd.te fixes the
issue and allows both sending logs to remote server and accepting
remote logs.

# Allow name_bind for remote logging
allow syslogd_t port_t:{ tcp_socket udp_socket } name_bind;

tcp_socket can be used by syslog_ng, afair.
