| .SH NAME |
| genhomedircon \- generate SELinux file context configuration entries for user home directories |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .B genhomedircon |
| is a script that executes |
| .B semodule |
| to rebuild the currently active SELinux policy (without reloading it) and to create the |
| labels for each user home directory based on directory paths returned by calls to getpwent(). |
| |
| The latter functionality depends on the "usepasswd" parameter being set to "true" (default) |
| in /etc/selinux/semanage.conf. |
| |
| This script is usually executed by |
| .B semanage |
| although this default behavior can be optionally modified by setting to "true" the |
| "disable-genhomedircon" in /etc/selinux/semanage.conf. |
| |
| Directories can be excluded from the list of home directories by the setting "ignoredirs" |
| in /etc/selinux/semanage.conf. |
