The policy tells me this is a correct label. Why do you think this is a bug?

I think this directory and its contents should be selinux_config_t, as it contains SELinux configuration files.
Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2011-05-19 16:22:23 UTC 
It contains default contexts so I don't see this as bug.

Dan?
Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2011-05-23 15:28:17 UTC 
I agree, this has always been labeled default_context, in that lots of domains need to read it that do not need to read other parts of SELinux config.
Comment 5 Ramon de Carvalho Valle 2011-05-23 15:37:24 UTC 
Then secadm_r also will need to have write permission to it.
Comment 6 Daniel Walsh 2011-05-23 16:19:26 UTC 
I agree.

Miroslav make sure RHEL5 and RHEL6 have


	seutil_manage_bin_policy($1)
	seutil_manage_default_contexts($1)
	seutil_manage_file_contexts($1)
	seutil_manage_module_store($1)
	seutil_manage_config($1)

in

userdom_security_admin_template
