Linux – Where is the sshd log file on Red Hat Linux stored

I don't use Git so I could be wrong, but if I get your problem right, you probably created the user entirely by hand (i.e. editing /etc/passwd), not letting the system know that /var/git is a user home directory. It normally puts the relevant directories in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.homedirs. For instance, I have the same setup but with /Var/svn, added with useradd, and here's an excerpt of that file, added automagically:

#
# Home Context for user unconfined_u
#

/var/svn/[^/]*/.+       system_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0
/var/svn/[^/]*/.pulse(/.*)?     system_u:object_r:gnome_home_t:s0
/var/svn/[^/]*/.gnome2(/.*)?    system_u:object_r:gnome_home_t:s0
/var/svn/[^/]*/.*/plugins/nppdf\.so     --      system_u:object_r:textrel_shlib_t:s0
/var/svn/[^/]*/.*/plugins/nppdf\.so.*   --      system_u:object_r:textrel_shlib_t:s0
/var/svn/[^/]*/((www)|(web)|(public_html)|(public_git))(/.+)?      system_u:object_r:httpd_user_content_t:s0
/var/svn/[^/]*/\.ssh(/.*)?      system_u:object_r:ssh_home_t:s0

(continued)

Once this is setup, a simple restorecon -Rv /var/git should do the trick.

Can you tell me if hpsmh is installed and running?

rpm -q hpsmh; [ -f "/opt/hp/hpsmh/logs/httpd.pid" ] && echo "running" || echo "not running"

Also, if hpsmh is installed, what are the permissions on its install root?
