Description Eric Preston 2006-11-15 15:46:34 UTC 
Description of problem:

Sitting in RHS429 this week a student noticed a but with MLS/MCS
translation with an example under FC6 and I tracked it down.

How reproducible:

Garranteed

Steps to Reproduce:
1. semanage translation -a -T Hipaa s0:c1
2. semanage login -l
3. Note that Hipaa seems truncated
  
Actual results:

Hip

Expected results:

Hipaa

Additional info:

seobject.py contains a bug in which string.strip("a:b:c") 
does not do what the author intended.

both

def translate(raw, prepend = 1):
   ...
   trans = trans.strip("a:b:c") ---> [Line 105]

and

def untranslate(trans, prepend = 1):
   ...
   raw = raw.strip("a:b:c") ---> [line 121?]

is not doing what is intended.

Cheers,
Eric
