Synopsis: Low: selinux-policy enhancement update
Issue date: 2012-02-09

The selinux-policy packages contain the rules that govern how confined
processes
run on the system.

This update fixes the following bug:

* With SELinux in enforcing mode, an Open MPI (Message Passing
Interface) job
submitted to the parallel universe environment failed when an attempt to
generate SSH keys with the ssh-keygen utility was made. With this
update, the
"ssh_keygen_t" SELinux domain type has been implemented as unconfined, which
ensures the ssh-keygen utility to work correctly. (BZ#784782)

All users of selinux-policy are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages,
which fix this bug.
