The chsh application (which runs in the chfn_t domain) requires read access on
the file context definitions. If not, the following error occurs:
Changing the login shell for root
Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default
Login Shell [/bin/zsh]: /bin/bash
chsh: failure while writing changes to /etc/passwd
The following AVC denials are shown:
Jan 23 20:23:43 lain kernel: [20378.806719] type=1400 audit(1358969023.507:585):

ino=23724520 scontext=staff_u:sysadm_r:chfn_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:selinux_config_t tclass=dir
In permissive mode, this goes up to:
Jan 23 20:22:15 lain kernel: [20290.691128] type=1400 audit(1358968935.217:566):

scontext=staff_u:sysadm_r:chfn_t tcontext=staff_u:object_r:file_context_t
tclass=file
Hence, adding in seutil_read_file_contexts().
A second error is that chsh, if available, wants to execute nscd:
Changing the login shell for root
Enter the new value, or press ENTER for the default
Login Shell [/bin/sh]: /bin/bash
chsh: cannot execute /usr/sbin/nscd: Permission denied
chsh: nscd exited with status 126
chsh: Failed to flush the nscd cache.
chsh: cannot execute /usr/sbin/nscd: Permission denied
chsh: nscd exited with status 126
chsh: Failed to flush the nscd cache.
chsh: cannot execute /usr/sbin/nscd: Permission denied
chsh: nscd exited with status 126
chsh: Failed to flush the nscd cache.
Similar to most other user admin utilities, we grant it the rights to run nscd.
Changes since v1
- Removed seutil_dontaudit_search_config() call

Allow sys_nice capability, setsched, allow to search in /var/spool and
syslog_t domain to read network state files in /proc
squash! Add support for rsyslog
Use nscd_use instead of nscd_socket_use. This conditionally allows
nscd_shm_use
Remove the nscd_socket_use from ssh_keygen since it was redundant
already allowed by auth_use_nsswitch
Had to make some ssh_keysign_t rules unconditional else
nscd_use(ssh_keysign_t) would not build (nested booleans) but that does
not matter, the only actual domain transition to ssh_keysign_t is
conditional so the other unconditional ssh_keygen_t rules are
conditional in practice

Some cron daemons, including vixie-cron, support using the system logger for
handling their logging events. Hence we allow syslogd_t to manage the cron logs,
and put a file transition in place for the system logger when it creates the
cron.log file.

If the /run/lock/lvm directory doesn't exist yet, running any of the LVM tools
(like lvscan) will create this directory. Introduce a named file transition for
the lock location when a directory named "lvm" is created and grant the
necessary rights to create the directory.

When starting postgresql, it fails with the (little saying) error message:
pg_ctl: could not start server
In the denials, we notice:
Nov 24 10:41:52 lerya kernel: [1628900.540506] type=1400
audit(1353750112.021:10143): avc: denied { connectto } for pid=20481

scontext=system_u:system_r:postgresql_t tcontext=system_u:system_r:postgresql_t

Hence, allow postgresql to connect to its own stream socket.

In Debian, this initscript is creating both /tmp/.X11-unix and
/tmp/.ICE-unix. This allows the directory to transition to the context
defined in the filecontext.
When the active session is changed, the udev-acl executable is called
by ConsoleKit. It will then read the ConsoleKit database to figure out
which is the active one.
This process is not allowed to interact with subjects or operate on
objects that it would otherwise be able to interact with or operate on
respectively.
This is, i think, to make sure that specified processes cannot interact
with subject or operate on objects regardless of its mcs range.
It is used by svirt and probably also by sandbox
