gradm WEIRD problem

[lightb]

Hello,

I am running: Slackware 10.1
Kernel version: 2.4.32-grsec
GrAdm version: 2.1.6

I had installation problems with /dev/grsec but I solved it.

crw--w--w- 1 root root 2, 16 2006-12-05 07:25 /dev/grsec

rm /dev/grsec; mknod /dev/grsec c 2 16

It is the only thing I found to avoid the "no such file or directory" problem in "make install". I did gradm -P and I set up a password, and gradm -P admin, and set up an admin role password.

At first everything seemed to work fine but:

1. gradm -E -V
Policy statistics:
-------------------------------------------------------
Role summary:
0 user roles
0 group roles
1 special roles with authentication
0 special roles without authentication
1 admin roles
2 total roles

Subject summary:
0 nested subjects
8 subjects can be killed by outside processes
10 subjects have unprotected shared memory
7 subjects with unrestricted sockets
10 total subjects

Object summary:
0 objects in non-admin roles allow chmod +s
124 total objects

2. gradm -S
Nothing. No message is displayed when I check for the status.

3. gradm -D

Nothing is displayed, it just prompts me for a password, if I put in the good or bad password the same thing happends.

4. When I start grlearn it learns nothing and furthermore gradm is unable to access /dev/grsec, I figured grlearn uses it so that could be the problem.

# gradm -F -L /etc/grsec/grlog
Could not open /dev/grsec.
open: Input/output error
# ps -ef | grep grlearn
root 32172 1 0 08:21 pts/0 00:00:00 /sbin/grlearn /etc/grsec/grlog
root@darkstar:/etc/grsec# gradm -F -L /etc/grsec/grlog -O /etc/grsec/policy
Beginning full learning 1st pass...done.
Beginning full learning role reduction...done.
Beginning full learning 2nd pass...done.
Full learning complete.


The log file is created but it remains 0.

*Note: I compiled without PAM support.

Question: Is this normal? I saw on posts that when you do "-S" it should tell you whether it is enabled or disabled, and when you do a full system learn it should fill your log, my log files are 0 all the time.

The major/minor device numbers for your fixed /dev/grsec device are wrong. Use mknod /dev/grsec c 1 13, as is used in the gradm Makefile.
