RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Michal Trunecka 2013-08-08 09:54:37 UTC
Description of problem:

The fixfiles man page says that it doesn't change contexts in verify/check mode:

"verify   List out files with incorrect file context labels, but do not change them."
"check    print any incorrect file context labels, showing old and new context, but do not change them."

But it is fixing unlabeled_t and undefined_t contexts in /tmp, /var/tmp, /var/run and /var/lib/debug and even deletes socks and pipes with that contexts from /tmp.

besides that, at the beginning of the process, fixfiles prints message, that it is "Relabeling / /boot /dev /dev/hugepages /dev/mqueue /dev/pts /dev/shm /run /sys /sys/fs/cgroup /tmp"  which is not true in verify/check modes.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
policycoreutils-2.1.14-70.el7.x86_64



How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
# ls -laZ /tmp/testfile 
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:unlabeled_t:s0 /tmp/testfile

# fixfiles verify
skipping the directory /var/log from relabelling
Relabeling / /boot /dev /dev/hugepages /dev/mqueue /dev/pts /dev/shm /run /sys /sys/fs/cgroup /tmp

# ls -laZ /tmp/testfile 
-rw-r--r--. root root system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0       /tmp/testfile



Expected results:

Change the message from "relabeling.." to something more suitable for the verify/check mode
Prevent changing context in those modes
