Jira (PUP-3481) Regex problem with an SELinux context type with a dash

[Jude N (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Jude N created an issue   Puppet / PUP-3481 Regex problem with an SELinux context type with a dash Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: PUP 2.7.23 Assignee: Kylo Ginsberg Components: Types and Providers Created: 16/Oct/14 3:27 PM Priority: Normal Reporter: Jude N I have a file on the system with the following SELinux context [root@sut ~]# matchpathcon /etc/my-app/my-config.cfg /etc/my-app/my-config.cfg system_u:object_r:my-app_config_t:s0 I also have a File["/etc/my-app/my-config.cfg"] resource defined in my manifests, which doesn't call out the seltype attribute, so according the documentation , it should get the type from matchpathcon, and set it to "my-app_config_t". However, it's setting it to "my" instead. Oct 16 13:13:43 src@sut puppet-agent[902]: (/File[/etc/my-app/my-config/cfg]/seltype) seltype changed 'etc_t' to 'my' I think I've tracked this down to the regex in parse_selinux_context() in utils/selinux.rb, where the 'type' section of the regexp stops accepting characters at the dash in the "my-app_config_t" I think it would be better if the regexp were something more lenient , like /^([^:]+):([^:]+):([^:]+)(?::([a-zA-Z0-9:,._-]+))?/ Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159-sha1:44eaede) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
