Things were going great until...

Hello.

I am on a Debian Etch box with SELinux in permissive mode.  I am using the Strict policy.

Of course I have no problem adding a user with something like:
useradd -c "SE Linux test user 1" -m -d /home/setest_1 -g users -s /bin/bash -u 1005 setest_1

I then create a new SElinux user group:
semanage user -a -R 'user_r' -P selinuxtest selinuxtest_u

Finally I create the login for setest_1:
semanage login -a -s selinuxtest_u setest_1

***I am doing this for example purposes***

The other day this all worked great. I verified by logging in as setest_1 and ensuring the security context showed selinuxtest_u.

However, later I created a very small policy module and added a new type mysetype_t.

I created the .pp file with make -c Makefile
I installed the .pp file with semodule -i mymodule.pp

I applied that type to everything under the /lisa directory with:
semanage fcontext -a -t mysetype_t "/lisa(/.*)?"

I verified the type was applied with ls -Z.

So no problems yet...

Today when I login as setest_1 the security context is that of what it defaults to when root creates the user.  The login I applied the other day is gone.

HOWEVER, if I do a semanage user -l and semanage login -l everything looks as it should. I see that the login for setest_1 is selinuxtest_u.

I tried to semanage fcontext -a -t mysetype_t "/somedirectory(/.*)?"
and that didn't work either.

HOWEVER, I did a restorecon on each individual file and that seemed to work.  

What is going on or how do I "restorecon" my logins so I can see any new logins I applied?

Thanks,
Lisa
