Description of problem: The man page for httpd_selinux incorrectly states that one should use httpd_sys_content_rw_t for scripts and the daemon to have read/write on a file or directory. The correct value to use is httpd_sys_rw_content_t (note the location of 'rw' in the string). It's not a huge deal, since restorecon seems to map the files to the correct (new) values. However, it seems to make restorecon do more work, since successive 'restorecon -v' invocations will repeatedly print out 'reset' messages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): selinux-policy-3.9.7-25.fc14.noarch Steps to Reproduce: 1. man httpd_selinux; find httpd_sys_content_rw_t value 2. semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_rw_t "/somedir" 3. restorecon -v /somedir 4. restorecon -v /somedir Actual results: Step 3. restorecon -v /somedir -> restorecon reset /somedir context system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_rw_content_t:s0->system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_rw_t:s0 Step 4. restorecon -v /somedir -> restorecon reset /somedir context system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_rw_content_t:s0->system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_rw_t:s0 Expected results: Step 3. restorecon -v /somedir -> restorecon reset /somedir context system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_rw_content_t:s0->system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_rw_t:s0 Step 4. restorecon -v /somedir -> (no output)
