NAME

   fixfiles - fix file SELinux security contexts.

SYNOPSIS

   fixfiles  [-v]  [-F]  [-B]  [  -N  time  ]  [-l  logfile  ]  {  check |
   restore|[-f] relabel | verify } [[dir/file] ... ]

   fixfiles  [-v]  [-F]  [  -R  rpmpackagename[,rpmpackagename...]  ]  [-l
   logfile ] { check | restore | verify }

   fixfiles  [-v]  [-F]  -C  PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT  [-l logfile ] { check |
   restore | verify }

   fixfiles [-F] [-B] onboot

DESCRIPTION

   This manual page describes the fixfiles script.

   This script is primarily used to correct the security context  database
   (extended attributes) on filesystems.

   It  can  also be run at any time to relabel when adding support for new
   policy, or  just check whether the file contexts are all as you expect.
   By  default  it  will  relabel all mounted ext2, ext3, xfs and jfs file
   systems as long as they do not have a security  context  mount  option.
   You can use the -R flag to use rpmpackages as an alternative.  The file
   /etc/selinux/fixfiles_exclude_dirs can contain a  list  of  directories
   excluded from relabeling.

   fixfiles onboot will setup the machine to relabel on the next reboot.

OPTIONS

   -B     If  specified with onboot, this fixfiles will record the current
          date in the /.autorelabel file, so that it can be used later  to
          speed  up  labeling. If used with restore, the restore will only
          affect files that were modified today.

   -l logfile
          Save the output to the specified logfile

   -F     Force reset of context to match  file_context  for  customizable
          files

   -f     Clear /tmp directory with out prompt for removal.

   -R rpmpackagename[,rpmpackagename...]
          Use  the rpm database to discover all files within the specified
          packages and restore the file contexts.  (-a will get all  files
          in the RPM database).

   -C PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT
          Run  a  diff  on  the PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT file to the currently
          installed one, and restore the context of all affected files.

   -N time
          Only act on files created after the specified date.   Date  must
          be  specified  in "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM" format.  Date field will be
          passed to find --newermt command.

   -v     Modify verbosity from progress to verbose. (Run restorecon  with
          -v instead of -p)

ARGUMENTS

   One of:

   check  print  any  incorrect  file  context labels, showing old and new
          context, but do not change them.

   restore
          change any incorrect file context labels.

   relabel
          Prompt for removal of contents of /tmp directory and then change
          any   incorrect   file  context  labels  to  match  the  install
          file_contexts file.

   verify List out files with incorrect file context labels,  but  do  not
          change them.

   [[dir/file] ... ]
          List  of  files or directories trees that you wish to check file
          context on.
