Login being denied without error in Fedora 7

[validius]

I am running Fedora 7 (I have experienced this on both 32 bit and 64 bit). Under 2.6.19 and 2.6.23.9 i get the exact same behavior. With RBAC enabled i try to log in and after typing in the username the system sits for a second then resets login. The only message in the logs is from login and reads:

Code: Select all

localhost login: FATAL: bad tty

I have no idea what significance this has but i have found an interesting procedure that results in a successful login.

Step 1: With RBAC turned off try and log into a terminal giving a inforrect username and password.
Step 2: Switch to a different terminal enable RBAC.
Step 3: Return to the terminal mentioned in step 1 and supply a correct username and password, this time you are logged in successfully.

My RBAC template for login:

Code: Select all

subject /bin/login do {
        /               rx
        /bin/bash       x
        /dev            r
        /dev/log        rw
        /dev/random     r
        /dev/urandom    r
        /dev/null       rw
        /dev/ptmx       rw
        /dev/pts        rw
        /dev/tty        rw
        /dev/tty?       rw
        /etc            r
        /etc/grsec      h
        /root
        /proc           r

RBAC Policy for mingetty:

I think I had a similar issue with ttys, but with sshd. What happens if you remove the 'd' from the /bin/login subject?

If i remove the d i can get a little further (it lets me put in my password). The end result is the same, no error, just a new login screen.

I realize this post is a little old, but anyway, here is what I did. I was in the same situation with Fedora 7, and this worked for me. And yes, I do realize there is a CAP_ALL.

Code: Select all
