Description Edgar Hoch 2011-11-29 20:39:21 UTC
Description of problem:
"semanage fcontext -l -C" displays nothing if only local fcontext equivalence rules are defined.

If also local fcontext type rule is defined, then "semanage fcontext -l -C" displays both the local fcontext type rules and local fcontext equivalence rules.

"semanage fcontext -l" displays all in all cases.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
policycoreutils-2.1.4-10.fc16.x86_64
selinux-policy-targeted-3.10.0-56.fc16.noarch


How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure that no local fcontext rules are defined:
semanage fcontext -l -C
semanage fcontext -l | tail -20

The first should display nothing, the second must no contain a section with local rules.

2. Add a local fcontext equivalence rule:
semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/mysql /fs/database/mysql

3. Check the result:
semanage fcontext -l -C
semanage fcontext -l | tail -20

The first command should displays nothing (this is the error). But it should display the rule entered above, like this:

SELinux Local fcontext Equivalence 

/fs/database/mysql = /var/lib/mysql


4. Add a local fcontext type rule:
semanage fcontext -a -t var_lib_t /fs/database

5. Check the result:
semanage fcontext -l -C
semanage fcontext -l | tail -20

Now the first command displays all local fcontext rules (as it should):

SELinux-fcontext                                   Typ                Inhalt

/fs/database                                       all files          system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0 

SELinux Local fcontext Equivalence 

/fs/database/mysql = /var/lib/mysql


6. Remove the fcontext equialence rule:
semanage fcontext -d -e /var/lib/mysql /fs/database/mysql

7. Check the result:
semanage fcontext -l -C
semanage fcontext -l | tail -20

Now the first command still displays the fcontext type rule, which is right:

SELinux-fcontext                                   Typ                Inhalt

/fs/database                                       all files          system_u:object_r:var_lib_t:s0 


8. Remove the fcontext type rule (to clean up):
semanage fcontext -d -t var_lib_t /fs/database



Actual results:
"semanage fcontext -l -C" only displays something if a local fcontext type rule is defined.

Expected results:
"semanage fcontext -l -C" displays something if a local fcontext type rule or a local equivalence rule is defined.


Additional info:
This error seems to be new in Fedora 16. In previous Fedora versions "semanage fcontext -l -C" always displays all local rules.
