Hi All, I have some unique directories in my filesystem, that I wanted to label a certain way. As such, I added a few modifications to the file_contexts files at the following locations: /etc/selinux/strict/modules/active/file_contexts /etc/selinux/strict/modules/active/file_contexts.template /etc/selinux/strict/contexts/files/file_contexts When my Linux machine boots up, and I label the entire filesystem, everything gets labelled correctly. Later, I have a script that runs the "semanage login -a -s xxx yyy" command. I noticed, right after the 'semanage' command is run, the above three files get reset back to the original defaults ??? Why does this happen, and any way for these file_contexts files to remain the way I set them initially ??? Ques 2. Initially after the system is labelled the way I want, the /etc/shadow file is labelled as shadow_t ! Later, some application task on my system is probably running "useradd" or "userdel", and as a result, I have two files labelled as follows: /etc/shadow etc_runtime_t /etc/shadow- shadow_t It looks like useradd or userdel is creating a backup copy (shadow-), but I am not interested in that. The shadow file is what I am interested in, and its label is getting changed to etc_runtime_t. Why could this be happenning, and how do I stop it ? Thanks in advance for your help, - Rezaul. -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
