For app is wants to label /var/lib as home_root_t, but it sees a conflict in that /var/lib has a label in file_context file of var_lib_t. So it complains. For /var/lib/application/ftproot it looks for /var/lib/application in the file_context file, and does not find the line so it can label /var/lib/application as home_root_t and it is successful. I think in neither case you want those labels. genhomedircon identifies "Real Users" As any user with a UID > 0 and a shell in /etc/shells and not the shell /bin/false or /sbin/nologin. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxFozoACgkQrlYvE4MpobPrVACgsCjfZOsafXf99jqwI4iZChix K8oAnRsCl9Tzx2uPeQAEh+7O3RxebdY5 =TAK4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- selinux mailing list selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinux
