Subject: Suggested change to setfiles interface.
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2004 10:22:44 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <403CBDC4.30100@redhat.com> (raw)

I find it curios that the setfiles interface works in recursive mode by 
default.  As we have been trying to get the install to handle labeling 
the file system, several files had to be labeled in the installer 
including /.  The only way to do this was to pipe
echo / | setfiles -s file_context

Looking into this I found this curious that this works differently then
setfiles file_context  /

I would like to see these work consistantly and us add a recursive on 
non recursive switch to setfiles. 

So

setfiles -R file_contexts /
would implement the current behavior

setfiles file_contexts /
would just relabel /.

Dan
