Summary0000063: Unable to allow custom SSH port through SELinux policy
DescriptionI'm not very familiar with SELinux at all, so I can't give much more detail, but I know that when I want to use a custom port for SSH I first have to create an SELinux policy which permits this. This has resulted in an error which seems tied to the OS, check the Steps below.
Steps To ReproduceAttempt to allow a custom port for SSH, for example port 1234:

semanage port -a -t ssh_port_t -p tcp 1234

Results in the following error (emphasis on the last line):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/sbin/semanage", line 975, in <module>
    do_parser()
  File "/usr/sbin/semanage", line 952, in do_parser
    commandParser = createCommandParser()
  File "/usr/sbin/semanage", line 882, in createCommandParser
    import seobject
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/seobject.py", line 33, in <module>
    import sepolicy
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/sepolicy/__init__.py", line 7, in <module>
    import setools
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/setools/__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
    __version__ = pkg_resources.get_distribution("setools").version
AttributeError: module 'pkg_resources' has no attribute 'get_distribution'

Additionally, when I went to check on SELinux inside Cockpit, I see:

"Error running semanage to discover system modifications"
Additional InformationFor background, I set up a fresh install of CentOS 8 on a VPS a couple of days ago and then ran the "almalinux-deploy" migration script. So far so good! This is the only issue I've run into.

Hello and thank you for report.
Looks like policycoreutils should be patched to detect AlmaLinux correctly.
We'll prepare an update for it asap.

So you have this issue after migration right?
I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on fresh AlmaLinux install.

Yes after migrating from CentOS 8. Is there a chance the issue could be with Python and its modules/packages? I updated what I could with pip - whatever didn't fail to build - just a handful of packages. But yesterday I had to downgrade 3 of them to get a CLI utility (b2) to work.

Hello. Is issue still occur on 8.4?
I still can't reproduce it.

Hi, I've updated the VPS to 8.4 along with all of the latest packages including the Python updates, and the latest kernel. I still get the same error as in the first post, in the traceback.

I did a bit of googling to see if I could get extra info from SELinux, so I tried setting the same custom SSH port policy and then tried `sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log` to get more info, but this actually leads to another error (sorry to pile on, but maybe this is relevant to SEL as well):

Traceback (most recent call last):

I've installed CentOS 8.4, updated it, migrate to Alma and can't reproduce any of written issues.
change port works fine, sealert fine too.

P.S. for "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'six'" you need to install python3-six
