Something I have not yet found while googling: we have a package

directory, or the executables. Pardon my ignorance of what I consider to be
an obscure wildcard usage, but how do do this? I've tried semanage fcontext
-a -t textrel_shlib_t "/usr/local/opt/smwa/webagent/bin/*.so"
You need to
use regular expressions.
# semanage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t
"/usr/local/opt/smwa/webagent/bin/.*\.so"
# restorecon -R -v /usr/local/opt/smwa
Should work.
with and without parens around the asterisk, and around the last
slash and
the asterisk....
Well... after seeing errors in /var/log/messages concerning my previous
tries, I looked in
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local, and saw all of
them entered; I noted it was autogenerated by semanage. I did something
I'm sure is not approved, I just deleted all the previous attempts from
that file. I then ran the command, as you have it, above, and that did
*not* work. One question: *will* it work if smwa is a symlink, not a hard
full path?
