SELinux Security Issue - Oracle
Issue
-
Receiving SELinux errors after installing NetBackup and running the following commands:
sudo chcon -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/openv/lib/*.so* for l in /usr/openv/lib/*.so* ; do echo $l:; sudo semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t $l; done
-
We are getting the following errors:
oracle homedir /opt/oracle or its parent directory conflicts with a defined context in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts,/usr/sbin/genhomedircon will not create a new context. This usually indicates an incorrectly defined system account. If it is a system account please make sure its login shell is /sbin/nologin.
-
This is a newly installed Oracle server and needs the home directory to point to /opt/oracle
Environment
