Is there a justification for using root_t instead of tftpd_t? root_t specifically exists to label the / directory of the system, not the root of the directory you are exporting over tftp. Its not specific to the tftp policy. If you change the type of / to something other than root_t, then many things can go wrong, since all domains should be able to at least search /. > 2. Is "search" to "/" means searching for absolute root directory or > root directory of tftp defined in xinetd, which is "/a" in my case? It means the real root directory. -- Chris PeBenito Tresys Technology, LLC (410) 290-1411 x150 -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
