Re: Can not access files in own home directory

setfiles takes the file_contexts file as the second parameter, if you look at fixfiles that is all that it is doing is execing setfiles.

So with strict policy you would run

setfiles /etc/selinux/strict/contexts/files/file_contexts /home
to relabel homedirs.

After running fixfiles relabel you should always reboot in order to start programs under the right context, If you do this in level 5 there is a chance the applications will write files out with bad context after the relabel, before the reboot.

I did a SELinux enabled install of FC2 ( Workstation type ).
In firstboot I created a user.


This is a known bug, when firstboot creates a user it doesn't give the
correct type to the home directory files. Running setfiles is the correct thing
to do. But you don't have to label the entire file system, just the home directory for the new user.




setfiles requires some "policy" argument, what do I use ?
Well, I just run "fixfiles relabel" ( not is runlevel 1, as suggested by
Andrew Farris,
but level 5, is that a problem ? ).
Now login on VCx is OK, but login in X still does not work. Previously it
reported that
my home dir does not exist, but now after the "fix" , when I enter my
username and
password an blank blue screen with a mouse pointer ( pointer, not sandwatch
) appears
and nothing happens. I waited 30 seconds and switched to VC1 to check out
what is
happening, but then the screen started to blink. It went black for ~5
seconds, then back
to VC1 for a second , then black again and so on. Maybe the X server was
restarting.

Any clues ?
