It would then allow httpd to write to the file.
httpd is allowed to write to httpd_squirrelmail_t files not to
usr_t files.
So in case one day I decide to get rid of squirrelmail, how do I
undo
this?
You don't need to. If you get rid of squirrelmail (by removing the
package), you'll have got rid of everything affected by this change.
Changing the context of files is similar to changing their
permissions;
removing a file will remove any trace of changes you made to its
permissions/context.
Paul.
After applying chcon -t httpd_squirrelmail_t /usr/share/squirrelmail/
config/conf.php apache was allowed to write to the file. I found out
that if you rename the file and then rename it back to what it was
before, the changes go back to the original setting the file had
which is usr_t.
Thank you both for your help
