Discover the advancements in Fedora Core 3's policycoreutils update, which significantly improves SELinux capabilities and tools.
Updated package.

Summary

Security-enhanced Linux is a patch of the Linux® kernel and a number

of utilities with enhanced security functionality designed to add

mandatory access controls to Linux. The Security-enhanced Linux

kernel contains new architectural components originally developed to

improve the security of the Flask operating system. These

architectural components provide general support for the enforcement

of many kinds of mandatory access control policies, including those

based on the concepts of Type Enforcement®, Role-based Access

Control, and Multi-level Security.

policycoreutils contains the policy core utilities that are required

for basic operation of a SELinux system. These utilities include

load_policy to load policies, setfiles to label filesystems, newrole

to switch roles, and run_init to run /etc/init.d scripts in the proper

context.

- Change fixfiles to match latest in rawhide

- Fix restorecon -e flag to exclude before stat

- Move genhomedircon to newer version to allow customizing of usespace
