Deploying SELinux modules with Puppet (reprise)

A little while ago I posted this entry about deploying SELinux modules with puppet. I wanted to add a new entry with an updated version of that module, as the originally posted module had a few problems which I resolved over the coming weeks. Posting this was spurred on by James who has posted this code on github using some similar ideas (and actually doing an even better job by the looks of it).

class semodloader ($moddir = '/usr/local/share/selinux') {

  package { ['policycoreutils',
             'checkpolicy',
             ]: ensure => latest}
  
  file {$moddir:
    ensure  => directory,
    owner   => 'root',
    group   => 'root',
    mode    => 755,
    require => [ Package['policycoreutils'],
                 Package['checkpolicy'],
                 ],
  }

  define semodule ($source, $status = 'present') {
    case $status {
      present: {
        file {"${semodloader::moddir}/${name}.te":
          owner    => 'root',
          group    => 'root',
          mode     => 644,
          source   => $source,
          require => File ["${semodloader::moddir}"],
        }
        
        file {"${semodloader::moddir}/${name}.mod":
          owner    => 'root',
          group    => 'root',
          mode     => 644,
          require => File ["${semodloader::moddir}"],
        }
        
        file {"${semodloader::moddir}/${name}.pp":
          owner    => 'root',
          group    => 'root',
          mode     => 644,
          require => File ["${semodloader::moddir}"],
        }
        
        exec {"${name}-buildpp":
          command     => "checkmodule -M -m -o ${name}.mod ${name}.te ; semodule_package -m ${name}.mod -o ${name}.pp",
          path        => ['/sbin', '/usr/sbin', '/bin', '/usr/bin'],
          cwd         => "${semodloader::moddir}", 
          subscribe   => File ["${semodloader::moddir}/${name}.te"],
          require     => File ["${semodloader::moddir}/${name}.te"],
          refreshonly => true,
        }
        selmodule {$name:
          ensure => present,
          syncversion => true,
          selmodulepath => "${semodloader::moddir}/${name}.pp",
          require => Exec ["${name}-buildpp"],
        }

      }
      
      absent: {
        file {"${semodloader::moddir}/${name}.te":
          ensure => absent,
        }
        
        file {"${semodloader::moddir}/${name}.mod":
          ensure => absent,
        }
        file {"${semodloader::moddir}/${name}.pp":
          ensure => absent,
        }

        exec {"${name}-remove":
          command     => "semodule -r ${name} > /dev/null 2>&1",
          path        => ['/sbin', '/usr/sbin', '/bin', '/usr/bin'],
        }
      }
      
      default: {
        fail("status variable not recognized")
      }
         
    }
  }

    Great post. I have taken your code as base for my own module at git://github.com/svein/puppet-semodloader.git
