Hi,
While I do relabel my file system, I'm getting some errors as

invalid context system_u:object_r:sysadm_netscape_rw_ti on line number 65

similar errors (by appending 'i' at the end of type field in the context) at different line numbers.

some days before Hugo F.Martinez claimed the same kind of error, for that Jon
Crowley replied as it could be a simple typo error. I verified with the file_contexts in the specified line numbers, I don't see any 'i' at the end.

Any idea what could be the problem.

Thanks,
Rajan.

Did you modify file_contexts? It appears that is simply a typo... try changing that line in file_contexts to the following, note the lack of "i" on the end:

system_u:object_r:cron_log_t

I haven't seen this error, and nothing springs to mind as a possible cause. Try using gdb on the setfiles program, setting a breakpoint immediately after the sscanf call (line 458), and a breakpoint before the security_context_to_sid call (line 553). Examine context at each breakpoint.
