I'm trying to understand why, on an updated F8 machine with selinux-policy-3.0.8-101.fc8.noarch and selinux-policy-targeted-3.0.8-101.fc8.noarch, /var/www/blah/cgi-bin doesn't end up as httpd_sys_script_exec_t.
semanage fcontext -l says (among many other lines, of course): /var/www/[^/]*/cgi-bin(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0
and yet:
sudo restorecon -R -v /var/www ls -lZ /var/www/blah
drwxr-xr-x root root unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 cgi-bin/
Am I misinterpreting the semanage output above? Is it possible that the following line, which appears earlier in the semanage output, is overriding? /var/www(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0
httpd_sys_content_t is a customizable type and will be left alone by restorecon unless you use -F. This may change before much longer though, given that it's easier to manage file contexts using semanage than it was when customizable types were introduced.
