Description of problem: The following messages are in my log file on my machine running RHEL 5.6 nightly: yum: Updated: selinux-policy-2.4.6-285.el5.noarch yum: Updated: gsl-devel-1.13-3.el5.i386 dbus: avc: received policyload notice (seqno=4) setfiles: /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts: Multiple same specifications for /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher\.d(/.*). restorecon: /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts: Multiple same specifications for /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher\.d(/.*). restorecon: /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts: Multiple same specifications for /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher\.d(/.*). yum: Updated: selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-285.el5.noarch ... and then the message about multiple same specification occurs every now and then, mostly from ssh, kinit, and rpm. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-2.4.6-285.el5 How reproducible: I'm not really sure, but it appears that this message is printed every time a command that has something to do with selinux is executed. As a reproducer, I think just `matchpathcon /etc/yum.repos.d` will do. Actual results: /var/log/messages is spammed. I don't know if it has any other consequences. Expected results: Silence Additional info: # grep ^/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d(/.*)? system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher\.d(/.*) system_u:object_r:NetworkManager_initrc_exec_t:s0 /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher\.d(/.*) system_u:object_r:NetworkManager_initrc_exec_t:s0
Fixed in selinux-policy-2.4.6-287.el5.noarch
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Due to an error in a SELinux policy, messages similar to the following could be written to the /var/log/messages log file: restorecon: /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts: Multiple same specifications for /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher\.d(/.*). These updated packages correct this error, and the above message no longer appears in the log.
