SELinux Context Not Applied
Hi,
I tried to apply a security context on a directory with the following commands:
[root@ local]# semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t “netdot(/.*)?”
[root@ local]# restorecon -R netdot/
When I list the contexts, it is part of the list….
[root@ local]# semanage fcontext -l | grep netdot
./netdot(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_rw_content_t:s0
… but does not appear on the directory itself:
[root@ local]# ls -ldZ netdot/
drwxr-xr-x. root root unconfined_u:object_r:*usr_t*:s0 netdot/
I am expecting to see something like:
drwxr-xr-x. root root unconfined_u:object_r:*httpd_sys_rw_content_t*:s0
netdot/
What am I doing wrong or do not understand?
Thanks,

Hello Bernard,
Try using absolute paths in your commands and see if that fixes your issue.
Regards, Leonard.
I used the full path and got it working:
[root@ local]# semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t
“/usr/local/netdot(/.*)?”
[root@ local]# restorecon -R /usr/local/netdot/
[root@ local]# ls -ldZ /usr/local/netdot/
drwxr-xr-x. root root unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_rw_content_t:s0
/usr/local/netdot/
Our emails crossed on the line! ;-)
Thanks anway Leonard,
