For such things I generally boot with "init=/bin/bash", mount the file systems, /proc, /selinux, then do "make load ; make relabel" and then "exec init". For machines where I don't have console access (EG logging in by ssh) I just run "make load ; make relabel", then restart all processes to get the right context, starting with "telinit u" to restart init, "killall -9 mingetty", using "runcon root:sysadm_r:sysadm_t /bin/bash" to get a shell in the right context for restarting daemons, and then restarting sshd etc. This method works well once you've had some practise, I've even upgraded machines to SE Linux without being on the same continent. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
