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
       setting to "true" the "disable-genhomedircon" in /etc/selinux/semanage.conf.

       Directories  can  be  excluded  from  the  list  of  home  directories  by  the  setting  "ignoredirs" in
       /etc/selinux/semanage.conf.
