or by rc scripts that would fork+exec short-lived restorecon processes to fix up labels. Ways to improve the situation for systemd would include: - Only load a subset of file_contexts entries, similar to udev. - Only load the file contexts entries temporarily, using selabel_open + selabel_close to bracket entire blocks where files are created or relabeled. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

can bracket the usage of the mapping with a selabel_open();...;selabel_close();, then you'll only be consuming the memory when using the file contexts mapping. You don't want to do that around every file creation / relabel, of course. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agenc

ined by Dan. Yes, agreed. This does require updating various scripts that directly reference /selinux though, including anaconda, dracut, puppet, etc. I'm guessing that some of these direct references are due to scripts that need to be able to run before /usr is mounted, so if we moved

RHEL-6 includes a version of SELinux that is far more modern than RHEL-5, naturally, and thus will look more like a modern Fedora (circa Fedora 12/13, I think).

Not sure what the RHEL-5 kernel does; in modern kernels, it won't set a context on disk when creating new files in a filesystem mounted with context= and thus they will show up as unlabeled if mounted without a context= mount option in Fedora-14. You could mount it with a context= option in both, or run restorecon on it when booting Fedora-14. -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
