Subject: How does matchpathcon/setfiles work?
Date: Sun, 01 Jun 2014 20:49:35 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <538B4487.8050807@gmail.com> (raw)

As we know, policies don't contain paths. So the working of 
matchpathcon/setfiles must be based on common sense.

It looks like it knows certain special folders and it's appropriate 
security context, for e.g. home folder contents should have files with 
user_home_t and suggests the correct SELinux user for the 
files/directories based on which user's home folder is it.

Other directories/files should have the same security context as the 
parent directory, like with /opt.

Is this correct?
