Name : policycoreutils
Product : Fedora 16
Version : 2.1.4
Release : 13.fc16
URL : http://www.selinuxproject.org
Summary : SELinux policy core utilities
Description :
Security-enhanced Linux is a feature of the Linux® kernel and a number
of utilities with enhanced security functionality designed to add
mandatory access controls to Linux. The Security-enhanced Linux
kernel contains new architectural components originally developed to
improve the security of the Flask operating system. These
architectural components provide general support for the enforcement
of many kinds of mandatory access control policies, including those
based on the concepts of Type Enforcement®, Role-based Access
Control, and Multi-level Security.
policycoreutils contains the policy core utilities that are required
for basic operation of a SELinux system. These utilities include
load_policy to load policies, setfiles to label filesystems, newrole
to switch roles, and run_init to run /etc/init.d scripts in the proper
context.

Update Information:
sandbox is leaving mount points after running. It is actually modifying the root
namespace when it runs by mounting /var/tmp on /var/tmp and /tmp on /tmp, Sometimes it
does not clean this up.
This package fixes this.
