If myscript.py starts with #!//usr/bin/python -E, then you can just label the file with an appropriate _exec_t type and have it automatically transition into its own domain. SELinux supports domain transitions on scripts (unlike setuid), although naturally you should only do that when you trust the calling domain. You can also use runcon -t to manually launch a program of any kind in a particular domain. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
