Howto setup ssh with selinux and firewalld

While running fedora, if you want to change the port for your ssh, just changing the firewall rules will not make a difference. If you are running selinux its important that you change the policy to allow a different port as well. I did learn it the hard way though, hopefully the following guide should be helpful.

Lets start by an introduction to semanage.

From man

Description

semanage is used to configure certain elements of SELinux policy without requiring modification to or recompilation from policy sources. This includes the mapping from Linux usernames to SELinux user identities (which controls the initial security context assigned to Linux users when they login and bounds their authorized role set) as well as security context mappings for various kinds of objects, such as network ports, interfaces, and nodes (hosts) as well as the file context mapping. See the EXAMPLES section below for some examples of common usage. Note that the semanage login command deals with the mapping from Linux usernames (logins) to SELinux user identities, while the semanage user command deals with the mapping from SELinux user identities to authorized role sets. In most cases, only the former mapping needs to be adjusted by the administrator; the latter is principally defined by the base policy and usually does not require modification.


FedUp and Fedora 18

Just now I made the update from Fedora 17 to 18. I didnt know that fedora 18 has a new update util called fedUp. If you are interested you could read here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedUp

Just do the following

yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install fedup

And then

fedup --network 18

It should ask for a reboot after some downloads, and that should just do the trick. atleast it did for me.

Getting started with JBehave in 8 steps.

This post is about JBehave and how to quickly get started with it. If you would like to know about BDD please use the following link. What is Behavioral Driven Development?

Today I have used JBehave for the first time. It does have some convincing factors for instance diving requirements into scenarios which map pretty nicely to the tests that are written with in the Steps. Thus it seems like it would be easier for Stakeholder/s to use it as a good guideline for the initial requirements. Its always quite usual to come up to some disagreements about the development however the tool does help to bring forth the ease for stake holders who really dont have to get into writing code but will have a technical jargon to communicate through to the developers in shape of scenarios.
