Most distros do that these days, and it works fine in Fedora, for example. The technique used in Fedora is to run restorecon -R /dev from rc.sysinit to set the contexts on the /dev nodes set up before the policy load, and udev is already SELinux-aware (if built with SELinux support enabled) and should label any dynamically created nodes appropriately once SELinux policy has loaded. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
