Sir, Can anyone explain the following result, why root has to change the type along with role sysadm_r role . Why does it say "couldnt get default type" in the first case [root@pryber ~]# id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel) context=root:system_r:unconfined_t [root@pryber ~]# id -Z root:system_r:unconfined_t [root@pryber ~]# grep ^role /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/policy.conf | cut -f2 "-d " | sort -u sysadm_r system_r user_r [root@pryber ~]# newrole -r sysadm_r Couldn't get default type. [root@pryber ~]# newrole -r sysadm_r -t sysadm_t Authenticating root. Password: [root@pryber ~]# id -Z root:sysadm_r:unconfined_t -- Thanks in advance Regards Preeti Malakar MTech CSE IIT Guwahati -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
