I'm trying to solve a problem on an old EL4 box.
/etc/sysconfig/selinux says: SELINUX=enforcing SELINUXTYPE=targeted
sestatus says: SELinux status: enabled SELinuxfs mount: /selinux Current mode: enforcing Mode from config file: enforcing Policy version: 18 Policy from config file:targeted
seinfo and sesearch say: Default policy search failed: This is not an selinux system.
It clearly is an SELinux system - I see SELinux initializing during boot, it has an /selinux file system, files and processes have contexts, I get avc errors when I violate policy.
What could be confusing seinfo and sesearch?
# ls -lZ /etc/selinux/targeted/policy -rw-r--r-- root root system_u:object_r:policy_config_t policy.18 # rpm -qf /usr/bin/seinfo /usr/sbin/sestatus setools-1.5.1-5 policycoreutils-1.18.1-4.7 # rpm -V setools policycoreutils #
