We're forced to use Siteminder, by CA, who have no clue what they're doing in *nix. No packages, tarballs... Anyway, I'm trying clean up some stuff, and in /*/smwa/webagent/bin (all their binaries, including .so's, are in there, duh... I'm trying to set the .so's to lib_t. semanage -fcontext -a -t lib_t "/<elided>/smwa/webagent/bin(/.*).so" gives me the completely unexpected response of semanage: error: argument subcommand: invalid choice: 'lib_t' (choose from 'import', 'export', 'login', 'user', 'port', 'ibpkey', 'ibendport', 'interface', 'module', 'node', 'fcontext', 'boolean', 'permissive', 'dontaudit') What am I doing wrong? mark

Also, I?m confused by the parens in your file path. Whether your shell is or not is a different question.

EXAMPLE remember to run restorecon after you set the file context Add file-context for everything under /web # semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t "/web(/.*)?" # restorecon -R -v /web If semanage worked "normally", I'd have been able to do semanage fcontext -m -t lib_t "/path/smwa/webagent/bin/*.so" Hmmm, didn't complain when I did that... but they're still bin_t, not lib_t. On the selinux list, I was asked for the context of the directory, which is bin_t, which might be correct... if the idiots of CA had a ./lib directory, which they do not. Windows turkeys.... mark mark
