Description Milan Zázrivec 2008-05-19 19:56:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
matchpathcon reports incorrect context for /var/lib/iscsi or /var/lock/iscsi

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libselinux-1.33.4-5.el5
selinux-policy-2.4.6-137.el5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL5.2, iscsi-initiator-utils included, selinux enabled
2. # matchpathcon /var/lock/iscsi /var/lib/iscsi/
3. # grep iscsi /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts
  
Actual results:
# matchpathcon /var/lock/iscsi /var/lib/iscsi/
/var/lock/iscsi system_u:object_r:var_lock_t:s0
/var/lib/iscsi/ system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0
# grep iscsi /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts
/var/lib/iscsi(/.*)?    --      system_u:object_r:iscsi_var_lib_t:s0
/var/run/iscsid.pid     --      system_u:object_r:iscsi_var_run_t:s0
/var/lock/iscsi(/.*)?   --      system_u:object_r:iscsi_lock_t:s0
/sbin/iscsid    --      system_u:object_r:iscsid_exec_t:s0
Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2008-05-20 00:28:01 UTC 
Well in truth matchpathcon is reporting the correct context.

The file context you are showing, has -- which tells matchpathcon to only match
on files not directories.

The real fix is to remove the -- to make it match on any file type.
Comment 2 Milan Zázrivec 2008-05-20 06:32:54 UTC 
I'm guessing libselinux is a wrong component then ...
Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2008-05-20 15:34:29 UTC 
Yes, fixed.
Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2008-05-22 18:52:18 UTC 
Fixed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-138.el5
