Description bcmork 2011-10-10 23:47:41 UTC
Description of problem:

On page 15 of the manual (chapter 4, section 4.2, step 11) the user is instructed to change the context of the test file, and the output of that command is shown.  The output identifies the type of the executable as "unconfined_notrans_exec_t" which does not match the type specified in step 6 of "unconfined_exec_t".  Following the steps as laid out in the manual on a test system shows that the type is actually "unconfined_exec_t" (as would be expected).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.0

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Follow instructions in the guide (section 4.2)
2. Verify the result shown in step 11 does not match the actual result.
  
Actual results:

# /sbin/restorecon -v /usr/sbin/httpd
restorecon reset /usr/sbin/httpd context system_u:object_r:unconfined_exec_t:s0->system_u:object_r:httpd_exec_t:s0

Expected results:

# /sbin/restorecon -v /usr/sbin/httpd
restorecon reset /usr/sbin/httpd context system_u:object_r:unconfined_notrans_exec_t:s0->system_u:object_r:httpd_exec_t:s0
