Despite seeming unrelated, the ultimate fix for this bug improved performance for most semanage commands; the second of the two patches affected more than just booleans. The relevant upstream commits are: https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/commit/b61922f727d5643265e27654a2d626bcae5d894c https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/commit/8702a865e08b5660561e194a83e4a363061edc03 > > > I didn't make any changes to /etc/selinux/semanage.conf .

So the problem lies in the libsemanage code; at present, it requires a full policy module re-link when you add a seusers entry. This has been fixed in the latest libsemanage version, which will hopefully find its way to RHEL7 before too long. > > > ---- > Cheers, > Lakshmipathi.G > FOSS Programmer. > http://www.giis.co.in http://www.webminal.org > > On Thu, Apr 20, 2017 at 11:23 PM, Stephen Smalley <sds@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > > > > On Thu, 2017-04-20 at 23:14 +0530, Lakshmipathi.G wrote: > > > It takes 10 seconds to create user account,where as without -Z > > > option > > > it takes less a second.
