Betreff: Problem with the previous libsemanage patch. Datum: Freitag, 16. Januar 2009 Von: Daniel J Walsh An: SE Linux -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The libsemanage patch I sent attempts a link before doing the copy. The idea here is to save space whenever possible. The big win is when we create the sandbox. Since this copies all of the module files even though it usually does not replace them. The link can cause a problem where it links to files together with different file context. For example, on initial install the /etc/selinux/targeted/seusers file ends up a link to /etc/selinux/targeted/modules/active/seusers. We end up with the file labeled semanage_store_t, instead of selinux_config_t and login programs are not allowed to read the file. This patch removes the link code, and only does it for the copy_dir, which is used to make a copy of the sandbox. The sandbox and active have the same label so this is not a problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
