Subject: [refpolicy] resolv.conf managed by NetworkManager or networkd

Hello,

On systems running NetworkManager or systemd-networkd, the resolv.conf
file is managed by that daemon and written in some private directory
(/var/run/NetworkManager or /run/systemd/resolve/). A symlink
/etc/resolv.conf is then created.

That means that application should be able to read a file that will be
labeled as NetworkManager_var_run_t (or some other private type for
networkd). One of the idea what to modify the sysnet_read_config()
interface but this lead to compilation is due to boolean/optional policy
mix.

An idea how to fix that?

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville

Yes, go down the rabbit hole and make it so that you can have
optionals in the sysnet_read_config() interface. Because sysnet config
can be in:

1. /etc/resolv.conf
2. /var/run/systemd/systemd-resolved/resolv.conf
3. /var/run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf

Start by identifying the conflicts. When you have them all commented
out, and have the compiler happy, start thinking about alternate ways
to get the commented functionality to work in an acceptable manner.

It will probably be tough to get this sorted out, but i think it is
probably inevitable.

Is a named filetrans impossible to work for this situation, so when the
two services create it the file it still ends up net_conf_t?

That still wouldnt work since callers of sysnet_read_config would
still need to traverse NetworkManager and systemd-resolved runtime
dirs to get to /run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf and
/run/systemd/systemd-resolved/resolv.conf

Unless you want to make sysnet depend on the networkmanager and
systemd modules
