Hi Dan, We added the domain_obj_id_change_exemption(pwrecoveryd_t) to our src module but no luck. And also our app does not do a setfscreatecon() call however from the syslogs we found Calls to setfscreate() by our app. Is there a way to look at the constraints on a RHEL5 box using seinfo. As indicated earlier in the email thread , the seinfo command on RHEL5 does not have the "--constrain" option.
