Subject: Why are we managing seusers file via libsemanage?
Date: Mon, 16 Jan 2006 22:49:39 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <43CC6953.4060901@redhat.com> (raw)
I don't recall why we did this?
I am now thinking this is not a good idea. People were told to edit the
/etc/selinux/POLICYTYPE/seusers file to change the default level at
login, now we do this via libsemanage. But doing this via libsemanage
eliminates us from being able to distribute this information via say LDAP.
I think that seusers and setrans.conf should be left as flat files and
allowed to be distributed via ldap. We can allow the semanage tool and
others to modify them and verify the data entry, but not manage them via
the library.
