-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We have added file trans by name rules to policy to fix a lot of files/directories being created with the correct label. We have problems on Distribution updates (F16-F17) though, where there is a files/directories in the homedir that are mislabeled. We have "restorecond -u" which we run in F15/F16 which examines the homedir and fixes any files directories it finds mislabeled in ~. If it finds a dir which is mislabeled, it will relabel the directory and all of its children. We have turned this tool off by default on the desktop in F17, because filename transition rules are doing a pretty good job of maintaining the labels in the homedir. But this tool never did a great job of fixing mislabeled subdirs, if the top level directory in the homedir was labeled correctly. You can enable this tool with /etc/xdg/autostart/restorecond.desktop One possible fix to this would be to force a system relabel on everything on upgrades, while this would fix the labels, it is considered to time consuming. (restorecon -R -v / or touch /.autorelabel) Another option would be to just relabel /home (# restorecon -R -v /home) at upgrade time. But this would also be time consuming. And would not catch the cases where the homedir is not in /home. A third option would be to run "restorecon -R -v $HOME" in background in an profile script the first time you login on a new OS Version. This would seem to be the least time consuming, but could be subject to race conditions, you hit the mislabeled file before the restorecon fixes it. This would be better then what we have now, in that everyone can hit the mislabeled file directory. Final option would be to do nothing, which is what we are doing in F17, until we get a bug reported and tell the user to run "restorecon -R -v /home" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk/HyhEACgkQrlYvE4MpobPilwCgx8rn5Yu+jlOm/kzTWf/3oLlT 8jEAoKavA8sEghVkc2sxVhuZIYHBMSXB =wn44 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
