Description Trond Danielsen 2007-11-27 09:15:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
SELinux prevents gdm from accessing NFS home folder. Home folder is mounted
under /export/home and users are authenticated agains a LDAP server.

SELinux context of relevant folder:
drwxr-xr-x  root root system_u:object_r:default_t:s0   /export
drwxr-xr-x  root root system_u:object_r:nfs_t:s0       /export/home

I assume that relabeling it to user_home_dir_t would solve this, but I though
setting the use_nfs_home_dir boolean should fix this.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fully up2date Fedora 8 x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time (reinstall, relabel etc does not help)

Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2007-11-28 13:26:22 UTC 
# semanage fcontext -a -t home_root_t /export
# restorecon -v /export

Should fix it .
