[SOLVED] SE linux troubleshooter

Itish · 01-12-2012, 05:42 AM

My SE linux troubleshooter displayed me a message
"If you want ftp to allow users access to their home directories you need to turn on the ftp_home_dir boolean: "setsebool -P ftp_home_dir=1"
The following command will allow this access:setsebool -P ftp_home_dir=1"

As the FTP user was not able login to the home directory
So when i ran the above command it worked.

I've never seen this command can someone please explain me the command??

setsebool
sets boolean (true/false) values of SELinux predefined variables. It means you can allow or deny operations or accesses. The operation's key that can be allow or deny by setsebool depends on policy set that you are using.

also you might want to set "ftp_home_dir"
that should be the folder that the ftp server is using

also red hat has a lot of documentation
and seeing as you are paying for a support contract you might want to use some of it
for the current RHEL6
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Re...nux/index.html
or search

( your RHN login is needed for the search )
