Well depending on where you told it to write, it is being denied. I would not use the -o command and just redirect stdout. restorecon -R * > /tmp/test (In reply to comment #1) > Well depending on where you told it to write, it is being denied.

Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Deprecated in policycoreutils-2.1.14-2.fc19 |
Description of problem: In the hope that I'm not doing something wrong, I was trying to use the '-o' option of restorecon so it'll write to file what may be wrong with my selinux context. However, this fails: [ykaul@ykaul ~]$ restorecon * -o /tmp/test.txt Error opening /tmp/test.txt: Permission denied usage: restorecon [-iFnprRv0] [ -L labelprefix ] [-e excludedir ] [-o filename ] [-f filename | pathname... ] [ykaul@ykaul ~]$ touch /tmp/test.txt [ykaul@ykaul ~]$ restorecon * -o /tmp/test.txt Error opening /tmp/test.txt: Permission denied usage: restorecon [-iFnprRv0] [ -L labelprefix ] [-e excludedir ] [-o filename ] [-f filename | pathname... ] [ykaul@ykaul ~]$ sudo restorecon * -o /tmp/test.txt Error opening /tmp/test.txt: Permission denied usage: restorecon [-iFnprRv0] [ -L labelprefix ] [-e excludedir ] [-o filename ] [-f filename | pathname... ] [ykaul@ykaul ~]$ rpm -qf `which restorecon` policycoreutils-2.1.4-3.fc16.x86_64 strace (of a different run than above) shows: open("./test.txt", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) write(2, "Error opening ./test.txt: Permis"..., 44Error opening ./test.txt: Permission denied ) = 44 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): policycoreutils-2.1.4-3.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
