Hi, When I start named in CHROOT environment, / gets automatically relabeled to default_t instead of root_t. Then a flow of AVC denials comes because of wrong type on root filesystem. Latest policies are installed: 2.20170204-r2 The issue is there since quite some time, and default context seems fine : gateway files # semanage fcontext -l | grep root_t / directory system_u:object_r:root_t Maybe the culpit could be this default rule: gateway files # semanage fcontext -l | grep default_t /.* all files system_u:object_r:default_t Portage 2.3.4 (python

That sounds very familiar! (I all but forgot the issue till now.) Can you check out the patch provided in Bug 601510 and test, if that solves the issue? I'm sure your problem is a subset of the issues I reported in 601510 and we can merge the tickets. You also should be able to observe the other issues reported in the other ticket: Not be able to stop the bind service via the init script.
Thanks for pointing me to the other bug. I saw the bug before opening mine, but I thought it was not retated to my issue. After editing the init script, root context is not switched to default_t anymore ! I'll also add a comment on bug 601510 because your hack for stopping named daemon is not working for me.
