Summary: SELinux prevented mount from mounting on the file or directory "./Fedora-9-Everything-i386-DVD1.iso" (type "samba_share_t"). Detailed Description: SELinux prevented mount from mounting a filesystem on the file or directory "./Fedora-9-Everything-i386-DVD1.iso" of type "samba_share_t". By default SELinux limits the mounting of filesystems to only some files or directories (those with types that have the mountpoint attribute). The type "samba_share_t" does not have this attribute. You can either relabel the file or directory or set the boolean "allow_mount_anyfile" to true to allow mounting on any file or directory. Allowing Access: Changing the "allow_mount_anyfile" boolean to true will allow this access: "setsebool -P allow_mount_anyfile=1." The following command will allow this access: setsebool -P allow_mount_anyfile=1 Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:mount_t Target Context user_u:object_r:samba_share_t Target Objects ./Fedora-9-Everything-i386-DVD1.iso [ file ] Source mount Source Path /bin/mount Port <Unknown> Host server-01 Source RPM Packages util-linux-2.13-0.47.el5 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-2.4.6-137.1.el5 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted MLS Enabled True Enforcing Mode Enforcing Plugin Name allow_mount_anyfile Host Name server-01 Platform Linux server-01 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jun 25 13:49:24 EDT 2008 i686 athlon Alert Count 3 First Seen Sun 13 Jul 2008 10:26:26 IST Last Seen Sun 13 Jul 2008 11:07:49 IST Local ID 268bdb54-5d8d-4c81-b7ba-0392b5cea34e Line Numbers Raw Audit Messages host=server-01 type=AVC msg=audit(1215943669.186:14): avc: denied { write } for pid=2898 comm="mount" name="Fedora-9-Everything-i386-DVD1.iso" dev=md2 ino=8585227 scontext=system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0 tcontext=user_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0 tclass=file host=server-01 type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1215943669.186:14): arch=40000003 syscall=5 success=no exit=-13 a0=9fd5450 a1=8002 a2=0 a3=8002 items=0 ppid=2877 pid=2898 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="mount" exe="/bin/mount" subj=system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0 key=(null)
