Description of problem: The `semanage fcontext` command will not let the security administrator add a file context type of <<none>>. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): policycoreutils-1.33.12-3.el5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run the command semanage fcontext -a -t '<<none>>' /bindmounts/ Actual results: libsepol.context_from_record: type <<none>> is not defined libsepol.context_from_record: could not create context structure libsemanage.validate_handler: invalid context system_u:object_r:<<none>>:s0 specified for /bindmounts/ [all files] libsemanage.dbase_llist_iterate: could not iterate over records /usr/sbin/semanage: Could not add file context for /bindmounts/ Expected results: For it to work. Additional info:
You can do this with a policy module by including a fc file. We are working on fixing this in Rawhide FC8, When we are happy with the solution we will consider back porting it to RHEL5.
Fixed in policycoreutils-1.33.12-14.1.el5
