Description "FeRD" (Frank Dana) 2018-10-01 09:04:52 UTC
Description of problem:
* Installed dictd-server.rpm

* Placed dictionary files in /var/lib/dictd/ (after creating it)
   - (Dictionary files were automatically labeled dictd_var_lib_t)

* Attempt to start dictd with `sudo systemctl start dictd.service`

This produced the selinux denial shown, and dictd failed to start.

Running `sudo dictd` from the command line did successfully start the server.

The following policy (generated with `audit2allow` as dictd_map.te, then
compiled with checkpolicy and loaded using `sudo semodule -i dictd_map.pp`)
eliminated the alert and allowed `sudo systemctl start dictd.service` to
successfully launch an operational dict protocol server.


module dictd_map 1.0;

require {
	type dictd_t;
	type dictd_var_lib_t;
	class file map;
}

#============= dictd_t ==============
# src="dictd_t" tgt="dictd_var_lib_t" class="file", perms="map"
# comm="dictd" exe="" path=""
allow dictd_t dictd_var_lib_t:file map;
SELinux is preventing dictd from 'map' accesses on the file /var/lib/dictd/gcide.index.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that dictd should be allowed map access on the gcide.index file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'dictd' --raw | audit2allow -M my-dictd
# semodule -X 300 -i my-dictd.pp
