Description Šimon Lukašík 2011-05-23 09:57:10 UTC 
Description of problem:
RHN Satellite 5.4.1 Reference Guide references /tftpboot/ folder which is
not present on rhel6. In the section: '11.1.4.1. SELinux Configuration'
there is:

    semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/tftpboot/.*"

For Satellite on rhel6, documentation should mention the following instead:

    semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/lib/tftpboot/.*"
    semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/www/cobbler/images/.*"
Comment 1 Šimon Lukašík 2011-05-25 06:30:50 UTC 
Correction: The last line, might not be listed in the documentation:

    semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/www/cobbler/images/.*"

It is not essential for the Satellite use case. Additionally, it's
a same for rhel5. Where we have not mentioned it.
Comment 2 Šimon Lukašík 2011-05-25 10:44:12 UTC 
This bug relies on a resolution of 707215 comment 6.
Comment 3 Jan Pazdziora 2011-05-25 12:43:54 UTC 
Actually, the correct fix is to remove that semanage advice altogether. It is not needed nor useful.
Comment 5 Lana Brindley 2011-06-13 20:13:29 UTC 
Slated for 5.4.2.

Comment 6 Jim Cromie 2011-06-13 20:39:27 UTC 
its worth noting that syslinux-tftpboot puts its files in /tftpboot,
where theyre not reachable by tftp-server.

Is there any move towards using /srv/tftp ?
(an apparently emerging FHS standard loc)
Comment 7 Lana Brindley 2011-09-22 20:39:40 UTC 
Commented out.

Revision 2-4 of the 5.4 Reference Guide.

This will be respun on docs.redhat.com following QA verification.
