Description Tomas Hoger 2011-02-23 14:28:04 UTC
Description of problem:
seunshare utility is setuid and is part of the main policycoreutils subpackage.  As this utility is used by sandbox feature, it's quite useless on most of the systems that need to have policycoreutils installed.  We should consider moving it out of the main subpackage so it can be easily removed by those who do not need it, in the similar way setuid newrole has its own subpackage.

The current way various sandbox components are split across subpackages may make this somewhat tricky:
- seunshare - policycoreutils
- sandbox - policycoreutils-python
- sandboxX - policycoreutils-sandbox

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
policycoreutils-2.0.83-19.1.el6

Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
