i am somewhat of a newbie at selinux so forgive some of my ignorance. i am using fc3 and have created a filesystem using ramdev. in this filesystem i have put a bunch of files, some executables, and would like to update ld.so.cache in this filesystem by running "ldconfig -r /mnt", where /mnt is the mount point of the ramdev.
if i put the running systems /etc/ld.so.cache into /mnt/etc/ld.so.cache then the system hangs when running "ldconfig -r /mnt". however, if i dont include the systems /etc/ld.so.cache into /mnt and then run ldconfig, it succeeds.
i believe this has something to do with selinux because if i boot with "selinux=0" then it doesnt seem to be an issue either way.
it also appears /etc/ld.so.cache is being handled in some way by selinux because there is an entry in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts.
i realize the short answer is to not include ld.so.cache in my ramdev, but i would like to know why this is actually happening.
anyone have any suggestions?
