GENHOMEDIRCON(8)                                       SELinux                                       GENHOMEDIRCON(8)



NAME
       genhomedircon - generate SELinux file context configuration entries for user home directories

DESCRIPTION
       genhomedircon  is  a  script  that  executes  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 semanage although this default behavior can be optionally modified by  set‐
       ting to "true" the "disable-genhomedircon" in /etc/selinux/semanage.conf.
