NAME fixfiles - fix file security contexts.

SYNOPSIS fixfiles [-F]   [  -R  rpmpackagename[,rpmpackagename...]    [ -C PREVI- ]OUS_FILECONTEXT  [-l logfile ]  [-o outputfile ]  { check  |  restore  | [-F] relabel }"

fixfiles [-F]   [-l  logfile  ]  [-o outputfile ]  { check | restore|[-f] relabel } [[dir/file] ...

DESCRIPTION This manual page describes the fixfiles script.

This script is primarily used to correct the security context database (extended attributes) on filesystems.

It can  also be run at any time to relabel when adding support for new policy, or just check whether the file contexts are all as you expect. By default  it  will  relabel all mounted ext2, ext3, xfs and jfs file systems as long as they do not have a security context  mount  option. You can use the -R flag to use rpmpackages as an alternative.

OPTIONS -l logfile Save the output to the specified logfile

-o outputfile Save all  files  that  have  file_context that differs from the default, in outputfile.

-F    Force  reset  of  context to match file_context for customizable files

-f    Don't prompt for removal of /tmp directory.

-R rpmpackagename[,rpmpackagename...] Use the rpm database to discover all files within the specified packages and restore the file contexts. (-a will get all files in the RPM database).

-C PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT Run a  diff  on  the PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT file to the currently installed one, and restore the context of all affected files.

ARGUMENTS One of:

check show any incorrect file context labels but do not change them.

restore change any incorrect file context labels.

relabel Prompt for removal of contents of /tmp directory and then change any  inccorect   file  context  labels  to  match  the  install file_contexts file.

[[dir/file] ...  List of files or directories trees that you wish to  check  file context on.
