Hi,

Whenever I try to modify a policy I get a warning like this:

/usr/sbin/genhomedircon will not create a new context. This usually indicates an incorrectly defined system account.  If it is a system account please make sure its login shell is /sbin/nologin.

And this is true, I did create a system account with home in /var/lib/application
But, I need this account to have a real shell. How can I make SELinux happy?

Thank you,
Vadym Chepkov
