Selinux strict mode
 

I have just started to run selinux. When i tested the strict polict with enforcing mode i got this error.
Init: cannot execute "/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit"
init:entering runlevel: 3
Init: cannot execute "/etc/rc.d/rc"
Init: id "1" respawing to fast: disabled for 5 minutes
Init: id "2" respawing to fast: disabled for 5 minutes
Init: id "3" respawing to fast: disabled for 5 minutes
Init: id "4" respawing to fast: disabled for 5 minutes
Init: id "5" respawing to fast: disabled for 5 minutes

Im running centos 5.3

Maybe some labeling that is wrong?
What do you get when doing ls -Z /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit ?
There is a way to relabel your filesystem.
Try a google search for it. I think that is your problem. Because you dont have access, the script exits immediately and respawns (as is configured in /etc/inittab I think). THere is a safety build in to wait if respawn is to fast.

I have this for that script:
-rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:initrc_exec_t /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

mine /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit looks exactly the same.

Can you please provide more information and some info from the logs. Did you install the strict policy via yum?
What errors are the logs showing? /var/log/messages /var/log/audit/audit.log


Do you know if the system relabeled after the new policy?



to force a relabel


'touch /.autorelabel' then reboot
or
'fixfiles relabel' to relabel a live system

what is audit2why or audit2allow showing?

audit2allow -d

audit2allow -i < /var/log/audit/audit.log

For future reference the more infomation you can provide the easier it is to help.
