For example, putting constrain rules before or after certain allow rules can change the decision of the policy? The order of policy rules will not effect access decisions, so it does not matter whether a constrain rule or allow rule comes first. If you build a policy using a policy.conf file and checkpolicy, then there is a particular order that all the rules must be in, but most people will not be building policy that way. The order of labeling rules such as portcon and file contexts can be important, but they are sorted automatically when using the normal policy tools to put the rules in a logical and consistent order. > _______________________________________________ > selinux mailing list -- [email protected] > To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] > -- James Carter <[email protected]> National Security Agency _______________________________________________ selinux mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
