SELINUX -- Enabled means BIND not working Why so??
 
Hi,

I configured DNS in my server while That time SELINUX enabled means It show permission denied error and some errors, but i checked all the directory permissions and all its every thing correct only but not worked..

At last I just disabled the SELINUX then its working fine.

I Heard SELINUX is for security for Linux operating systems, but why i disabled means only its working??

Is that any Security issues behind in this??

Please share your ideas.

Hello, Anish,

Have you looked in /var/log/secure and /var/log/setroubleshoot/* for clues?

AFAIK not /var/log/secure but /var/log/audit/*, /var/log/messages and /var/log/setroubleshoot/*...

You can use

ls -Z

in the affected dirs to check SELinux contexts,

getsebool -a|grep named

to check boolean settings

By default, Centos will expect bind/named to be installed chrooted http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_boo..._ch-bind.html; you might want to check that.
There's a good chapter on SELinux in that docco also.
