Description Runa Bhattacharjee 2008-04-04 11:40:19 UTC 
Description of problem:

The following user interface messages contain the words "his home directory" to
signify  "....SELinux users' home directory":

Allow gadmin SELinux user accounts to execute files in his home directory or /tmp
Allow guest SELinux user accounts to execute files in his home directory or /tmp
Allow staff SELinux user accounts to execute files in his home directory or /tmp
Allow sysadm SELinux user accounts to execute files in his home directory or /tmp
Allow unconfined SELinux user accounts to execute files in his home directory or
/tmp
Allow user SELinux user accounts to execute files in his home directory or /tmp
Allow xguest SELinux user accounts to execute files in his home directory or /tmp

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/policycoreutils
2. Open the file at: 
http://translate.fedoraproject.org/POT/policycoreutils.HEAD/policycoreutils.HEAD.pot

3. Look for the above mentioned messages.
  
Actual results:

Messages would contain the string "his home directory" to signify  "....SELinux
users' home directory"

Expected results:
"his home directory" modified to "his/her home directory" or "their home directory"
Comment 1 Paul W. Frields 2008-04-04 14:49:58 UTC 
Coming from the Fedora Docs Project, here's a better neutral version:

"Allow a %s SELinux user account to execute files in home directory or /tmp"
Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2008-04-06 12:10:53 UTC 
Ok I made the change in the Rawhide package.

Fixed in policycoreutils-2.0.46-3.fc9
Comment 3 Adam Batkin 2008-04-07 12:52:41 UTC 
How about "their" instead? his/her just sounds awkward
