Otherwise I'll do it. I still believe that as when running SE Linux all files will have contexts (the kernel code generates them if they are on a filesystem that doesn't support persistent storage of contexts or if they are unlabelled) then the SE Linux access controls should not be listed in "ls -l" output. That said, the above suggestion makes sense and would work reasonably well. -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
