SELinux Mailing ListRe: Added is_context_configurable function
From: Stephen Smalley <sds_at_epoch.ncsc.mil>

You could certainly specify a /rsync/(/.*)? entry in file_contexts that had both contexts listed. Ordinary user shouldn't be able to create/populate /rsync anyway without administrative setup. Failing to associate the context with a location in any manner means that setfiles/restorecon will fail to fix the label on e.g. /etc/shadow if it happens to get one of these configurable types at some point. Admittedly, getting to that point requires some kind of serious error in the first place, but running fixfiles relabel will no longer correct such errors for you. BTW, customizable or alternatives seems better than configurable. -- Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> National Security Agency -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
