This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. I don't see this happening on RHEL6. But I am not sure it is worth fixing in RHEL5. It is fixed in RHEL6 so I am closing bug as NEXTRELEASE. |
Description of problem: Running "restorecon -vF" reports files whose contexts stay unchanged. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): policycoreutils-1.33.12-14.8.el5 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cd ~ 2. touch restorecontest 3. ls -lZ restorecontest 4. restorecon -vF restorecontest 5. ls -lZ restorecontest Actual results: 3. -rw-r--r-- root root root:object_r:user_home_t restorecontest 4. restorecon reset /root/restorecontest context root:object_r:user_home_t:s0->root:object_r:user_home_t:s0 5. -rw-r--r-- root root root:object_r:user_home_t restorecontest Expected results: 3. -rw-r--r-- root root root:object_r:user_home_t restorecontest 4. (no output) 5. -rw-r--r-- root root root:object_r:user_home_t restorecontest Additional info: you see that restorecon hasn't changed the contexts of the file, the listing says the same in 3. and 5., and from the man page: -v show changes in file labels. -F Force reset of context to match file_context for customizable files, or the user section, if it has changed. - so the -F option should not touch the file as "if it has changed" doesn't apply, and in addition the -v option should not list the file as there are no changes to show
