When running in SELinux mode on Fedora, some operations don't work out of the
box.
Until somebody contributes a complete SELinux policy for ShellInABox, here are
some tips on getting things working:
- avoid using the default "LOGIN" service. Calling /bin/login does not do
the right thing.
The "LOGIN" service is the default service when running "shellinaboxd" as
"root". This means, you will most likely see all logins failing, whenever
you start the daemon as "root".
To fix this problem, consider explicitly specifying a service definition.
One of these two should work:
--service /:AUTH:HOME:SHELL
or
--service /:SSH
The latter requires that you have a locally running "sshd" daemon.
- Alternatively, consider running "./configure --disable-login" before building
the daemon. This will completely remove support for the "LOGIN" service, and
shellinaboxd will instead use a default "SSH" service for both unprivileged
and for "root" users.
- On Fedora, PAM authentication does not work for shellinabox until you
explicitly configure it. This means, using "AUTH" in the service definition
will not allow you to log in.
You can fix this by defining a proper "/etc/pam.d/shellinabox" file. Take a
look at "etc-pam.d-shellinabox-example" for a working example.
Make sure you assign the correct SELinux labels to this file when copying
it into "/etc/pam.d":
cp -Z system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 etc-pam.d-shellinabox-example /etc/pam.d/
