I have previously existing home directories under /u01/home. I did this because upgrading from FC6 to Fedora 7 caused me trouble and I want to avoid having to recreate my home directory. So I copied the whole system into /u01 before doing a fresh Fedora 8 install. I do not have a separate home-only partition. SELinux prevents me from making a symbolic link like this: /home--> /u01/home or like this /home/chris--> /u01/home/chris. If I setup a dummy user with home at /home/chris, then edit /etc/passwd to change the home to /u01/home/chris... that doesn't work either. nor if I create a new user like so: useradd -d /u01/home/pete pete Is there something magic about the string '/home' ? that keeps me from creating home directories anywhere else? I'd really love to keep from smashing /home on every OS reload. For now I have SELinux in Permissive mode so I can at least use the system. -- fedora-selinux-list mailing list fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-selinux-list
