Here are two questions likely to be frequently asked, missing from the
FAQ.  They belong right after "Q: I installed Fedora Core on a system
with an existing /home partition, and now I can't log in."

Q: If I relabel my existing /home partition after upgrading to FC2,
will I still be able to read it if I need to revert to FC1? (In other
words, am I burning my bridges when I run setfiles or fixfiles?)

Q: Can an NFS-mountable /home partition be shared by FC1 and FC2
installations?

Adding blocking (back?) against 118757 for tracking purposes.

Research on answers currently occuring on fedora-selinux-list:

Here are the revised two questions.  Cc:'d are the two developers who
have answered these questions on list; please review the accuracy of
these comments.  I'm going to roll these into the FAQ in the next few
hours because I believe they are primarily accurate, and are timely
and useful.  Please reply to this bug report with any changes.

## begin

Q:. After relabeling my /home using setfiles or fixfiles, will I still
be able to read the partition with a Fedora Core 1 system?

A:.  You can read the files from a non-SELinux distribution such as
Fedora Core 1 or Red Hat Linux. However, files created by the
non-SELinux using systems will not have a security context, nor will
any files you remove and recreate. This could be a challenge with
files such as ~/.bashrc. You may have to relabel your /home when you
return to Fedora Core 2 test2.


Q:. How do I share directories using NFS between Fedora Core 2 test2
and non-SELinux systems?

A:. Just as NFS transparently supports many file system types, it can
be used to share directories between SELinux and non-SELinux systems.

When mounting a non-SELinux file system via NFS, by default SELinux
will treat all the files in the share as having a context of nfs_t.
You can override the default context by setting it manually using the
context= option. For example, this would make the files in the NFS
mounted directory appear to have a context of system_u:object_r:tmp_t
to SELinux:


mount -t nfs -o context=system_u:object_r:tmp_t server:/shared/foo
/mnt/foo

When SELinux exports a file sytem via NFS, files created will have the
context of the directory they were created in. In other words, the
presence of SELinux on the remote mounting system has no effect on the
local file contexts.
