We have played around with dbus and SELinux. The only available documentation appears to be the dbus manpage. Unfortunately the example concerning the associate given in this manpage is not correct: <associate own="org.freedesktop.Foobar" context="foo_t"/> This should associate the ownership of the dbus service org.freedesktop.Foobar to the selinux domain foo_t. Actually you have to specify the full security context: <associate own="org.freedesktop.Foobar" context="system_u:object_r:foo_t:s0"/>
I don't know SELinux. Laurent, Colin, can you confirm that -<associate own="org.freedesktop.Foobar" context="foo_t"/> +<associate own="org.freedesktop.Foobar" context="system_u:object_r:foo_t:s0"/> is a correct change, or provide a different correct change?
Yes. This is the correct change. Thanks a lot. I should have provided the patch myself. Shame on me.
@Ralf: Is this the context (I didn't verify myself) of the running process or the one of the file on disk? If it's the context of the process I would say that "system_u:system_r:foo_t:s0" as an example might be more correct
