Description Rob Crittenden 2011-09-19 15:06:25 UTC

Description of problem:

The restorecon man page doesn't include possible return values. It apparently returns 0 if it does nothing and 1 if it changes the context. Unclear what other possible values might be.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

policycoreutils-2.0.83-19.13.el6.i686

Steps to Reproduce:
1. chcon -t ssh_home_t ~/.emacs
2. restorecon ~/.emacs
3. echo $?

Value will be 1.

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2011-09-23 15:52:34 UTC

I changed restorecon to return 0 on success like it did in RHEL6.0.

Fixed in policycoreutils-2.0.83-19.16.el6
