I have Linux kernel 2.6.26 with a patch from NSA that allows genfscon support of security contexts for directories/files (others than / ). I use genfscon to label files/directories on cramfs filesystem(read-only filesystem) that does not support xattr. It seems that current genfscon implementation does not support “–“(dash) in path names. If I try to compile policy containing this line: genfscon cramfs /usr/sbin/an-app user_u:system_r:my_app_t I will get an syntax error from checkpolicy aboutusing “– “ (dash) in the path: ERROR ‘invalid type app’ at token ‘genfscon’ on line... So, could you please suggest a way to fix theissue with “– “ (dash) and genfscon? Unfortunately, it is not possible to change “–“(dash) to “_” (underbar) in path names.
