SELinux Mailing ListRe: Proposed patch to policy file_contexts
From: Stephen Smalley <sds_at_epoch.ncsc.mil>
Date: Fri, 05 Mar 2004 12:18:25 -0500
The resulting file_contexts file maps /root entries to staff*_home_t rather than sysadm*_home_t. This is a general limitation of genhomedircon (not knowing which role to select when multiple ones are authorized), but the old one avoided the problem by skipping root and leaving the /root entries in the .fc files. Now, we could alter the ordering of roles for root in policy/users as a workaround; that shouldn't affect the default context as that is governed by /etc/security/default_contexts. -- Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> National Security Agency -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
