Subject: passwd using getprevcon() for enforcement
Date: Thu, 06 Jan 2005 09:29:41 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1105021782.972.9.camel@twoface> (raw)
I was wondering why Fedora's passwd is patched to use getprevcon()? It
seems to me that enforcing policy on a types previous context is very
broken behavior. Shouldn't the patch enforce on the current context and
have different passwd types for privileged users (i seem to remember
that there was a passwd_t and sysadm_passwd_t but that might have been
old-api).
