policy 1.9-15 seems to have fixed the problem. I did not have this problem with a fresh test 2 install, but after updating to kernel-2.6.4-1.300 and policy-1.9.1-4 and relabeling (does one have to do this after upgrading the policy package?) I cannot login as root via gdm any more: "/root" does not exist. If I log in on a VC the default context is root:sysadm_r:sysadm_t, while if I switch to permissive mode and log in through gdm and open a terminal the context is root:staff_r:staff_t. |
