Description Jeff Needle 2008-01-30 19:14:59 UTC

Description of problem:

Got a lovely message from setroubleshoot telling me exactly how to fix a
problem, as follows:

The following command will allow this access:
chcon -R -t samba_share_t /home/jneedle/directory with space/filename

Being an incredibly lazy sysadmin, I of course just cut and pasted that to the
command line.  Of course, it failed.  Maybe we should put the path in quotes or
escape special characters so this is cut-and-pasteable, making it even easier
for zombie sysadmins like myself to simply cut and paste these recommendations.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
setroubleshoot-1.8.11-4.el5.noarch (probably affects all releases)

Comment 1 John Dennis 2008-01-30 20:26:32 UTC

Good point Jeff, thank you. This problem has already been reported in bug
#416351, closing as a dup.

BTW, rather than escaping the characters as suggested in bug #416351 I prefer
your suggestion of quoting the arguments.
