From: dsugar@tresys.com (David Sugar) Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2017 22:30:58 +0000 Subject: [refpolicy] [PATCH 1/1] label systemd-shutdown so shutdown works Message-ID: To: refpolicy@oss.tresys.com List-Id: refpolicy.oss.tresys.com I am seeing (on RHEL 7.4 w/systemd) that halting the system doesn't work. It took me a long time (and a lot of help from Steve L.) to figure out what was going on. It turns out in refpolicy the default label for /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-shutdown is bin_t. But when systemd tried to execve systemd-shutdown it fails because init_t isn't allowed file entrypoint for bin_t. When I labeled systemd-shutdown as init_exec_t shutting down the system works. I was seeing the following log (from systemd) when I enabled systemd debug logging (which was very useful). [ 59.745037] systemd[1]: Starting Final Step. [ 59.746112] systemd[1]: Starting Power-Off... [ 59.776320] systemd[1]: Shutting down. [ 59.783559] systemd[1]: Failed to execute shutdown binary, freezing: Operation not permitted At this point everything locks up instead of actually halting the system. This is a patch to change the label for systemd-shutdown which solves the problem. I'm happy to go through and make a distinct type of systemd-shutdown if someone doesn't think it is a good idea to share the type with systemd. But based on what is going on, this might be reasonable.
