Hi, folks.
In our laboratory, we have an NIS / automounted NFS environment in
which every NIS user gets placed under an automounted /home.
For one of our users on Fedora 20, I'm attempting to give him an
auxiliary local account whose home directory is mounted under
/local-home/, and I'm trying to figure out how to tell SELinux that
everything under /local-home should be treated analogously to how it
would be treated under /home.
Unfortunately, I've not yet figured out the magic incantation to do
this.
I found /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.homedirs,
and I was able to copy that and sed it with s/\/home/\/local-home/,
after which I could then do a setfiles on my copy to set the
appropriate labels on his existing /local-home/username directory, but
this is obviously just temporarily curing the symptom rather than
fixing the policy appropriately for local accounts going forward.
I expect that there are policy editing tools that I could use to fix
the policy up, for all pre-defined file contexts, but I don't know how
to do that efficiently.
Nor do I know how to arrange things so that third party policy modules
that might be installed later (like for Google's Chrome RPM?) would
inherit the new file_context rules for /local-home appropriately.
Any hints would be extremely helpful.
Thanks,
Jon

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/selinux If his directory is going
to be a subdir of /local-home Then just do
# semanage fcontext -a -e /home /local-home
# restorecon -R -v /local-home
If his homedir is /local-home then you need to get creative
# semanage fcontext -a -e /home/foobar /local-home
# restorecon -R -v /local-home
Should get you the correct labels.
