Hi, I'm facing a challenge with selinux and because I don't got an explanation elsewhere, I'm trying to explain here. I have decided to mount /var/spool/cron on a separate partition and apply quota for regular users. But quotacheck replyes with a "permission denied" . quotacheck: Cannot create new quotafile /var/spool/cron/aquota.user.new: Permission denied quotacheck: Cannot initialize IO on new quotafile: Permission denied Indeed, files in that directory has a context witch denies quotacheck process to write files. To became suitable fo quota, those files (aquota.user and aquota.group) must have quota_db_t type(in context). If I use restorecon /var/spool/cron/aquota.user , it reports that is no default context for that file. [root at CentOS active]# touch /var/spool/cron/aquota.user [root at CentOS active]# restorecon /var/spool/cron/ [root at CentOS active]# ls -lZ /var/spool/cron/ -rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:user_cron_spool_t:s0 aquota.user [root at CentOS active]# restorecon /var/spool/cron/aquota.user restorecon: Warning no default label for /var/spool/cron/aquota.user Semanage reports this [root at CentOS active]# semanage fcontext -l|grep quota /a?quota\.(user|group) regular file system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0 /boot/a?quota\.(user|group) regular file system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0 /etc/a?quota\.(user|group) regular file system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0 /sbin/quota(check|on) regular file system_u:object_r:quota_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/convertquota regular file system_u:object_r:quota_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/quota_nld regular file system_u:object_r:quota_nld_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/rpc\.rquotad regular file system_u:object_r:rpcd_exec_t:s0 /var/a?quota\.(user|group) regular file system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0 /var/lib/openshift/a?quota\.(user|group) regular file system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0 /var/lib/quota(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:quota_flag_t:s0 /var/lib/stickshift/a?quota\.(user|group) regular file system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0 /var/run/quota_nld\.pid regular file system_u:object_r:quota_nld_var_run_t:s0 /var/spool/(.*/)?a?quota\.(user|group) regular file system_u:object_r:quota_db_t:s0 Take a look on the last file . Isn't a default context for /var/spool/cron/aquota.user ?It looks like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=703871 What's your opinion? Elji Udia
