Per the FHS (1), /usr/local is for use by the system administrator when installing software locally. Locally-installed software that is not part of the core OS is not likely to have a preexisting SELinux policy module and thus will run as unconfined_t, which means that the SELinux file contexts on the /usr/local tree are unlikely to matter. If you want to change this, you can always set equivalences, and then re-label: $ semanage fcontext -a -e /etc /usr/local/etc $ restorecon -FR -v /usr/local Relabeled /usr/local/etc from system_u:object_r:usr_t:s0 to system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0 But again, the file contexts on files in /usr/local is probably just not going to matter for 99.9% of things.
