[Pdns-users] SELinux with master & pdns fails

[Kevin P. Fleming]

If by "the RPM" you are referring to the ones distributed by the PowerDNS team (on repo.powerdns.com) then no, it does not. It also doesn't include a profile for AppArmor.

It is possible that the PowerDNS team would accept a contribution of such profiles to be included in the packages, but the ongoing cost of supporting those could be high, and it may not be possible to have the same profiles operate properly across all of the RPM-based distributions.

The proper solution is to determine whether any of the actions that pdns-auth is taking are invalid. If they are invalid, those are bugs (but this is unlikely); if they are valid, the SELinux policy needs to permit them.
