No restorecon will not follow the symlink. Why not label the real path?
I was hoping, so that when they give us another edition of the thing, I'd
just have to run restorecon... but thanks *very* much. I gave the full
link, and it worked.
If you want to work under the covers edit
/etc/selinux/targeted/modules/active/file_contexts.local
Which will copy over
/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.local
on next update.
Ok. I was just trying to get rid of useless crap. Thanks again, Dan.
