Description Milos Malik 2013-08-29 11:54:50 UTC
The tool should print the same error message ("...: Invalid boolean") in both cases.

# setsebool xyz=1
Could not change active booleans: Invalid boolean
# setsebool -P xyz=1
Failed to change boolean xyz: No such file or directory
# rpm -qf `which setsebool`
policycoreutils-2.1.14-75.el7.x86_64

Miroslav just change the tool to verify the boolean names in the getopt section, and blow up earlier with a good error message.

Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2013-09-10 11:01:09 UTC
Fixes have been added to Fedora. Will be a part of the next policycoreutils rhel7 build.
