What does ls -Z show for the file > before and after? About init, duh, just not thinking. I will indeed need to rebuild init. restorecon -v /home/tdowning/.viminfo: restorecon reset /home/tdowning/.viminfo context system_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t->system_u:object_r:user_home_t But ls -aZ: ? .viminfo (~/.viminfo is the only file under /home that fixfiles even tried to relabel). It occurs to me that maybe all of fileutils, coreutils,sysutils, libnss*, pam* and such like might need to be rebuilt? Maybe ls is just not build right. I note that 'id -Z' complains "works only on an SELinux-enabled kernel", indicating the need to rebuild all that stuff. thanks td _______________________________________________ Selinux mailing list Selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe, send email to Selinux-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.
