problems labeling files

Hi Daniel,

I'm using sepolgen from policycoreutils-gui-2.0.85-28.fc14.x86_64.

The policy file that I hand modified (and caused the labeling problems) 
was attached to the previous email.

Note that sepolgen refuses to generate policies for files that have a 
"." in them, which seems like a pretty significant restriction.

Here is the trace:

[proxyuser at lime selinux]$ sepolgen -t 3 
/home/proxyuser/trunk/aps-base/crumple-zone/target/runSeed.sh

Name must be alpha numberic with no spaces.

sepolgen [ -m ] [ -t type ] [ executable | Name ]
valid Types:

         0       Standard Init Daemon
         1       DBUS System Daemon
         2       Internet Services Daemon
         3       User Application
         4       Web Application/Script (CGI)
         5       Minimal X Windows User Role
         6       Minimal Terminal User Role
         7       User Role
         8       Admin User Role
         10      Root Admin User Role
         11      Sandbox
[proxyuser at lime selinux]$

So long
Michael
