Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
policycoreutils-1.30.14-5

How reproducible:
Everytime, see above.

Actual results:
restorecond is too verbose when a file doesn't exist.

Expected results:
Silence by restorecond in syslog ;-)

Additional info:
Maybe a configuration direction or a parameter can be introduced, if you want
to keep the ability for having syslog flooded by unnecessary stuff...

Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2006-07-14 23:34:00 UTC
