One of if not the most common problem people hit with SELinux is the mv
command, which maintains the file context of the source destination.
mv /home/dwalsh/index.html /var/www/html/
This blows up on everybody and then the users have no idea why.
I was thinking about adding -Z (--restorecon) to mv and having it basically do a
internal restorecon on the destination.
Then we could suggest people who get burnt by this to:
alias mv="mv -Z"
In Fedora 18 we have greatly enhanced matchpathcon, by pre-compiling the
regex, so there should be very little slow down in doing this.
I will work on the patch, if people agree with the idea.
