Want to have fun? Run the system-config-linux GUI, go to "File Labeling" and add a file context, let's say "var_t" for /tmp/junk regular file. Hint: It would be wise to save all your local customizations before trying that. What you get is a corrupt rule where the File Type is shown as [''.'--','-d','-c','-b','-s','-l','-p'] Now you are stuck. Because of the corrupt file type you can't delete this rule. You can no longer save your local customizations because "semanage -o" barfs on the corrupt type. Your only choice is to run "semanage fcontext -D" to delete _all_ your customized contexts and load them in again (_without_ using the GUI). It doesn't matter what file type you selected. All are bad. Doesn't anybody test this stuff? -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.
