With for example rsync and the --xattrs (-X) option it should copy this. Seems there is a --xattrs option for tar too. Don't know if this is possible by sftp/vsftpd at all. As SElinux is about preventing bad things: how do you ensure you trust the client to set selinux labels? - Thomas _______________________________________________ selinux mailing list -- selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to selinux-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
