Well the warning messages say that file_t files should *never* get
created if the filesystem is labeled properly. So I didn't think it was
just a matter of creating files where the default filetype would be
different, because the default filetype should not be file_t anywhere.
I could create a world-writeable directory somewhere else and have all
the scripts write to that but it would be a pain to re-write and re-test
everything as a workaround for this one bug...
Well, one other theory: /tmp is a different partition, right? So maybe
when I do
# touch /.autorelabel
# reboot
it's only re-labeling the / partition and not the /tmp one?
Unfortunately in that case I don't know how to make it re-label the /tmp
filesystem as well. I tried creating /tmp/.autorelabel and rebooting,
but that didn't work; /tmp/hostname_SKYSLICE.INFO and other files still
had type file_t.
