However, generally policy loading is handled directly by init (both sysvinit and systemd) via libselinux w/o executing the load_policy executable, and libsemanage checks both locations for it, so I wouldn't expect policy loading to be broken. fixfiles invocation from init scripts may be a different matter. Likely should revert the location change for both (but not the rest of DESTDIR/PREFIX fixes). I guess the change might break systems calling load_policy from dracut initramfs scripts to load policy instead of calling libselinux from init, e.g. RHEL 6. I'm not sure though that any distro other than RHEL 6 ever did that. _______________________________________________ Selinux mailing list Selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe, send email to Selinux-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.
