SELinux is preventing access to files with the label, file_t.

[Antonio Olivares]

Dear all, 

I have done this before :

"touch /.autorelabel; reboot"

several days pass and I see this file_t again and I
have to do "in quote" this again .  What is file_t
anyway?  
I do not know of any in my system.  

Thanks,

Antonio 

Summary:

SELinux is preventing access to files with the label,
file_t.

Detailed Description:

SELinux permission checks on files labeled file_t are
being denied. file_t is
the context the SELinux kernel gives to files that do
not have a label. This
indicates a serious labeling problem. No files on an
SELinux box should ever be
labeled file_t. If you have just added a new disk
drive to the system you can
relabel it using the restorecon command. Otherwise you
should relabel the entire
files system.

Allowing Access:

You can execute the following command as root to
relabel your computer system:
"touch /.autorelabel; reboot"
