Hello,

I was wondering if anyone of you fellas could help me in finding out that how could i change the SELinux labeling i.e security context ?

for example the typical security context of a file "abc.txt" is

I want to change it to appear like

I shall be really thankful if anyone could direct me in this regard.

Thanks in Advance...

Because you are not a newbie let's find out what you know about SELinux and how it applies a policy.
What would having "MY-NAME-IS-HERE" signify from a SELinux policy point of view?

Thanks unSpawn for your reply..

I know about SELinux and it's working quite well and how it applies it's policies etc.

The security label change that I want to have doesn't signify anything at the moment.

I have a vague idea for the future that I would like to implement..

But currently I just want to know if the SELinux security context that is placed on each file, could be changed the I way i have described.

I just want to add that extra value in the security context.

Any help in guiding towards that end would be highly appreciated..

Kind Regards

...then the simple answer is "no".

hmm!!
but isn't everything open source ? Someone has coded and designed the current security context..

So why can't it be changed ?

It's not that. It definitely can be changed. But you want "something" but you don't have any clue what that "something" would be. And I don't think I'm well-versed enough in the Art of SELinux to start discussing "something" without having any clue what that "something" should be, do or would impact. Maybe start by buying a dead tree book like the "Light Saber" book aka SELinux By Example?..
