hotplug 0.030 not setting selinux permissions on /dev/tty*

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton <lkcl@lkcl.net>]

hi there,

i've got udev up-and-running, with an selinux kernel 2.6.7.

i've added se-linux temporary attributes to tmpfs in order for
the tmpfs /dev to "remember" the selinux settings that udev would
make (without the patch, it's guaranteed to fail).

[see http://hands.com/~lkcl/selinux/2.6.6]

the issue is that i am not seeing any execution of
/etc/dev.d/default/selinux.dev on /dev/tty[absolutelyanything].

so as a temporary hack i am going to have to do a manual restorecon
or a setfiles /etc/selinux/src/file_contexts/file_contexts /dev.

which defeats the object of having the /etc/dev.d/default/selinux.dev
stuff in the first place.

i really don't know enough about the operation of udev to say where
the creation of /dev/tty1, /dev/tty2 etc etc etc are coming from,
or why /etc/dev.d/default/selinux.dev would not be called.

does anyone know why?

what is going on: /dev/tty1...N are all in /dev/.udev.tdb, and
they are all created in /dev, so... why wouldn't they have the
permissions set?

could it be because.... they are copied from somewhere else?

e.g. the initrd scripts?

i am at a loss.

l.
