Otherwise, if disable_genhomedircon && !do_install, we'll fall through to the end of the function without ever setting retval again, so the mere absence of a seusers file will cause a fatal error from semanage_direct_commit. > > /* run genhomedircon if its enabled, this should be the last operation
