Subject: [patch] udev-selinux: restores file security context and sets mode in matchpathcon
Date: Tue, 03 Aug 2004 15:26:23 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040803152623.GE4043@lkcl.net> (raw)
okay, updated.
this is an experimental patch.
- records former security context
- assumes any file creates (directories, symlinks, nodes) are hunky-dory
and going to be the only file creates
- restores former security context.
matchpathcon mode on:
- directories (for the mkdirs) uses S_IFDIR
- inodes (for the mknod) uses the mode passed in.
- symlinks uses S_IFDIR
the reason for using this patch is because of speed:
if matchpathcon is used in the same process, the lookups etc.
are cached.
a reason for _not_ using this patch is for a udev in initrd
where the smaller klibc is used. it would be necessary to add
rexeg to klibc and to compile a special libselinux1 with it.
if you do not intend to put udev into an initrd, this patch is
perfectly acceptable for use.
