NAME

       fixfiles - fix file SELinux security contexts.

SYNOPSIS

       fixfiles [-F] [-l logfile ] { check | restore|[-f] relabel | verify } [[dir/file] ... ]

       fixfiles [-F] [ -R rpmpackagename[,rpmpackagename...] ] [-l logfile ] { check | restore | verify }

       fixfiles [ -C PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT ] [-l logfile ] { check | restore | verify }

       fixfiles onboot

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page describes the fixfiles script.

       This script is primarily used to correct the security context database (extended attributes) on filesystems.

       It  can	also  be  run  at  any time to relabel when adding support for new policy, or  just check whether the file contexts are all as you
       expect.	By default it will relabel all mounted ext2, ext3, xfs and jfs file systems as long as they do not have a security  context  mount
       option.	 You  can use the -R flag to use rpmpackages as an alternative.  The file /etc/selinux/fixfiles_exclude_dirs can contain a list of
       directories excluded from relabelling.

       fixfiles onboot will setup the machine to relabel on the next reboot.

OPTIONS

       -l logfile
	      Save the output to the specified logfile

       -F     Force  reset  of	context to match file_context for customizable files

       -f     Clear /tmp directory with out prompt for removal.

       -R rpmpackagename[,rpmpackagename...]
	      Use the rpm database to discover all files within the specified packages and restore the file contexts.  (-a will get all  files	in
	      the RPM database).

       -C PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT
	      Run a diff on  the PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT file to the currently installed one, and restore the context of all affected files.

ARGUMENTS

       One of:

       check  print any incorrect file context labels, showing old and new context, but do not change them.

       restore
	      change any incorrect file context labels.

       relabel
	      Prompt  for  removal  of contents of /tmp directory and then change any incorrect file context labels to match the install file_con-
	      texts file.

       verify List out files with incorrect file context labels, but do not change them.

       [[dir/file] ... ]
	      List of files or directories trees that you wish to check file context on.

NAME

       restorecon - restore file(s) default SELinux security contexts.

SYNOPSIS

       restorecon [-R] [-n] [-p] [-v] [-e directory] pathname...

       restorecon -f infilename [-e directory] [-R] [-n] [-p] [-v] [-F]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page describes the restorecon program.

       This program is primarily used to set the security context (extended attributes) on one or more files.

       It  can also be run at any other time to correct inconsistent labels, to add support for newly-installed policy or, by using the -n option,
       to passively check whether the file contexts are all set as specified by the active policy (default behavior).

       If a file object does not have a context, restorecon will write the default context to the file object's extended  attributes.  If  a  file
       object  has a context, restorecon will only modify the type portion of the security context.  The -F option will force a replacement of the
       entire context.

       It is the same executable as setfiles but operates in a slightly different manner depending on it's argv[0].

OPTIONS

       -e directory
	      exclude a directory (repeat the option to exclude more than one directory, Requires full path).

       -f infilename
	      infilename contains a list of files to be processed. Use - for stdin.

       -F     Force reset of context to match file_context for customizable files, and the default file context, changing the  user,  role,  range
	      portion as well as the type.

       -h, -? display usage information and exit.

       -i     ignore files that do not exist.

       -n     don't change any file labels (passive check).  To display the files whose labels would be changed, add -v.

       -o outfilename
	      Deprecated,  SELinux  policy will probably block this access.  Use shell redirection to save list of files with incorrect context in
	      filename.

       -p     show progress by printing * every 1024 files.  (If you relabel the entire OS, this will show you the percentage complete.)

       -R, -r change files and directories file labels recursively (descend directories).
	      Note: restorecon reports warnings on paths without default labels only if called non-recursively or in verbose mode.

       -v     show changes in file labels, if type or role are going to be changed.

       -0     the separator for the input items is assumed to be the null character (instead of the white space).  The quotes  and  the  backslash
	      characters  are  also  treated  as  normal  characters that can form valid input.  This option finally also disables the end of file
	      string, which is treated like any other argument.  Useful when input items might contain white space, quote  marks  or  backslashes.
	      The -print0 option of GNU find produces input suitable for this mode.

       ARGUMENTS
	      pathname...  The pathname for the file(s) to be relabeled.

NOTE

       restorecon does not follow symbolic links and by default it does not operate recursively on directories.
