Hi,
I have been reading through the Fedora 12 selinux documentation:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-user-guide/f12/en-US/
In section 5.10.1 (Copying Files and Directories), the following
example is used to demonstrate changing the context of a file when
copying:
$ touch file1
$ cp -Z system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0 file1 file2
$ ls -Z file1 file2
-rw-rw-r-- user1 group1 unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 file1
-rw-rw-r-- user1 group1 system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0 file2
However, when I try this on my Fedora 12 system i get the following:
ls -Z file1 file2
-rw-rw-r--. mmadore mmadore unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 file1
-rw-rw-r--. mmadore mmadore unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 file2
On CentOS 5.4 and Fedora 11, I see the documented behaviour. Is this
a bug, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
Mike Madore
