semanage tests

Description of problem:
1. semanage fcontext -a -t samba_share_t /test
2. restorecon -R -v /test
Changes /test type to samba_share_t. Note: no slash on the end of "/test".

1. semanage fcontext -a -t samba_share_t /test/
2. restorecon -R -v /test

/test still uses default_t type. Note: trailing slash, "/test/".

See attached for full steps.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2008-12-01 13:47:36 UTC 
The problem here is you are adding a path that is a regular expression. 

So from a regex point of view /test does not match /test/.

Since there is lots of examples where this is going to fail, I am going to close this as wontfix.
