Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

postgresql pg_dump won't run: msg#00268

Subject: postgresql pg_dump won't run
Hi,

I've just installed selinux on my FC3 server using the targeted policy, and everything went well except that I can no longer run /usr/bin/pg_dumpall as a root cron job for backing up postgresql databases. I get this sort of log message, even if I run pg_dump/pg_dumpall as the postgres user:


Dec 30 10:17:01 server2 kernel: audit(1104419821.285:0): avc: denied { execute_no_trans } for pid=24740 exe=/bin/bash path=/usr/bin/pg_dump dev=md0 ino=346137 scontext=user_u:system_r:postgresql_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:postgresql_exec_t tclass=file


For now, I've disabled the postgres protection using system-config-security-level, and it works fine - but postgresql is unprotected of course.

Is there a way of running pg_dump and pg_dumpall under selinux, without abandoning or rewriting the targeted policy?


- Mike
