Is that done automatically? If you do something that might have run with selinux disabled (such as using your system is rescue mode) or possibly after a major selinux policy change you should relabel your system. Each file's context is checked against a set of patterns and reset if it isn't the proper one. restorecon also checks file's contexts against thos patterns but is generally used for minor changes where only a small part of your file system is known to need changes. The patterns are not used when creating new files. There the context is either set by the application creating it to something specific or it gets a default based on the context of the application and the context of the directory it is being created in. The most common default is that the context of the file is the same as the context as the directory it is being created in, but that isn't universal. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
