Addition of selinux users causes "Multiple same specifications" warnings during startup

["Radha Venkatesh (radvenka)" <radvenka@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have created SeLinux users using "semanage user" and tied the SeLinux users to Linux users using "semanage login". I find that on startup, there are several warnings thrown for "Multiple same specifications". Below is an example

 

/etc/selinux/strict/contexts/files/file_contexts: Multiple same specifications for /dev/null/\.screenrc

 

I then checked and found that file_contexts has

 

file_contexts.homedirs:/dev/null/\.screenrc     --      ccmusergrp_u:object_r:user_screen_ro_home_t:s0
file_contexts.homedirs:/dev/null/\.screenrc     --      ccmusergrp_u:object_r:user_screen_ro_home_t:s0
file_contexts.homedirs:/dev/null/\.screenrc     --      specialuser_u:object_r:user_screen_ro_home_t:s0
file_contexts.homedirs:/dev/null/\.screenrc     --      ccmusergrp_u:object_r:user_screen_ro_home_t:s0
file_contexts.homedirs:/dev/null/\.screenrc     --      ccmusergrp_u:object_r:user_screen_ro_home_t:s0
file_contexts.homedirs:/dev/null/\.screenrc     --      specialuser_u:object_r:user_screen_ro_home_t:s0

Looks like there is an entry for every Linux user I tied to the SeLinux user.

 

I am using

libselinux-1.33.4-5.5.el5
libsemanage-1.9.1-4.4.el5
policycoreutils-1.33.12-14.8.el5
libsepol-1.15.2-3.el5

 

and do not have an option to move to later releases.

 

Is there a way for me to get rid of these warnings or suppress them, without changing the source code provided by RedHat?

 

Thanks,

Radha.
