No, SELinux does nothing to NFS over the wire at this stage. You can specify the security context of an NFS mount locally with the context= option to mount. This is something the kernel only sees locally, the remote server is not aware of anything. e.g. # mount -t nfs -o context=system_u:object_r:tmp_t server:/some/path /mnt/wherever All of the files on the mount will appear to have the context system_u:object_r:tmp_t to SELinux. - James -- James Morris <jmorris@xxxxxxxxxx>
