Description Chris Stankaitis 2006-05-19 19:10:41 UTC 
Description of problem:

used snmpconf to generate an snmpd.conf file.  file was created without proper
SELINUX user/context as compared to the stock snmpd.conf file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

net-snmp-libs-5.1.2-11.EL4.6
net-snmp-5.1.2-11.EL4.6
net-snmp-utils-5.1.2-11.EL4.6


How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cd /etc/snmp
2. mv snmpd.conf snmpd.conf.orig
3. snmpdconf
  
Actual results:

# ls -lZ
-rw-r--r--  root     root     root:object_r:etc_t              snmpd.conf
-rw-r--r--  root     root     system_u:object_r:snmpd_etc_t    snmpd.conf.orig


Expected results:

-rw-r--r--  root     root     system_u:object_r:snmpd_etc_t    snmpd.conf
-rw-r--r--  root     root     system_u:object_r:snmpd_etc_t    snmpd.conf.orig

Additional info:

had to manually - chcon -u system_u -t snmpd_etc_t snmpd.conf
Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2006-05-30 12:56:05 UTC 
snmpd_etc_t is the correct context.  

You can use matchpathcon to get the correct context for the file, and then
setfscreatecon to cause the file to be created with the correct context.

setfilecon will change the file context after it has been created.

I will attach a patch with examples of how this was done in MAKEDEV
