Description Flags
IRC log where dwalsh and quaid discuss configurable contexts; walters lends some voice as well none

Description Karsten Wade 2005-01-10 19:12:45 UTC 
Note for a backport that these are findable in FC3 with 

 grep "^type .*configurable" policy.conf  | cut -d',' -f1 | cut -d' ' -f2

for a rawhide policy or latest shipping.

Will be in fc4 as /etc/selinux/policyname/configurable_contexts.
Comment 1 Karsten Wade 2005-12-28 00:54:37 UTC 
Reassigning to new FAQ maintainer.
Comment 2 Karsten Wade 2005-12-28 00:55:22 UTC 
Just evaluate if this information needs to be in the new FAQ, thanks.
Comment 3 Chad Sellers 2006-04-20 19:25:54 UTC 
Not sure what configurable_contexts were. Maybe you mean customizable_types,
which are stored in /etc/selinux/policyname/contexts/customizable_types? Was
someone asking where these were stored?
Comment 4 Karsten Wade 2006-04-20 22:12:19 UTC 
I completely do not recall the details.  I got a pointer or reference from one
of the Red Hat SELinux team, either in IRC or via mailing list, and put that
there as a note to research further and make it an FAQ reference.

Ah, OK, I found the IRC conversation with Dan Walsh.  I'll create an attachment
of the relevant parts.

Created attachment 128069 [details]
IRC log where dwalsh and quaid discuss configurable contexts; walters lends some voice as well

dwalsh == dan walsh
quaid == karsten wade
walters == colin walters

Over a two day period in January 2005.
Comment 6 Chad Sellers 2006-04-28 15:59:11 UTC 
The conversation continued on list, link here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=110540333200002&r=1&w=2

The consensus was to call these customizable types in
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/customizable_types instead of configurable or the
other options.

I'll add a FAQ for customizable_types
