Only before_t was defined in the policy. When I define after_t in the policy, both commands return the same label (after_t). But I wouldn't expect this to make a difference in the output of both commands (as the only visible difference is lgetxattr() vs getxattr()) > before_t and after_t are not type aliases of each other? They are not. > What are the credentials (capabilities and SELinux security > context/permissions) of the process running the ls and getfattr commands? It has unconfined_u:unconfined_r:before_t label with before_t type. Same as the file f. The process has full SELinux rights on both command and file. > Any relevant messages from SELinux in dmesg output? No avc warnings in dmesg and audit.log. All looks good. -- Thomas Coudray -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
