something odd here... messed up... gimped..

out of curiosity, move the /dev/null line above the /etc/* h

No change, just reports the error on the different line # (since I moved the /dev/null above /etc/* h). The feb22 gradm (approximately), will load the acl but that was the original version that was having all the probs at the beginning of this post.

[spender]

can you download grsecurity 1.9.9e and gradm 1.9.9d? Maybe there was something wrong with your cvs merges. The ACL is working for me.

I have installed both and am still experiencing the duplicate entry error:

root@soup:~# gradm -E
Duplicate ACL entry found for "/etc/issue" on line 640 of /etc/grsec/acl.
"/etc/issue" references the same object as the following object(s):
/etc/issue
specified on an earlier line.The ACL system will not load until this error is fixed.

/etc/issue may be fighting with /etc/issue.net since there is a symbolic link there. I'm not sure if you fixed that in cvs or not since I cant manage to get a checkout =(

It's fixed (for real) in the current CVS of gradm.

Okay you got that problem fixed, here's another

.pwd.lock doesnt exist when the ACL is loaded into grsec so it appears that grsec might not be handling files that begin with a . properly

Check your /etc very carefully. Do an ls -al. I think you'll find .pwd.lock actually is there. It's there on my system. The globbing does handle filenames starting with a "." , if it didn't, it wouldn't have made that file hidden, instead of had it fall through to the /etc rw rule.

Ah yes your right, for some reason I was thinking it was a dynamic temp file in there kind of like mtab~<proc#>. I probably cleaned it out at one point and then saw it trying to create it and jumped to conclusions.

Everything seems happy now, thanks for the help

Some more good news. I finished a better include directive for gradm 2.0. I am going to backport it to the current version of gradm tonight, so the include directive is much more flexible. In the current version of gradm you can only entire subject ACLs. In this new version, you can include anything.

Did you happen to reintroduce this with a previous cvs merge? I've never had issues with it before with syslog-ng.

The code's been like that for a while. I've fixed your problem in current CVS though.
