Re: setting up new test user domain?

Hi there,

I have made a copy of the user.te to be_user.te and have changes all instances of "user" ti "be_user" and changed the "domain" to "be_domain" inside be_user.te.

I have also added the be_user_r definition to the rbac file.

The las t thing that I have done was to "sed "s/domain/~be_domain/g" every.te > newevery.te and then copy it over.

the problem that I am getting now is an assertion error:

assertion fail: allow be_user_su_t be_user_t:process { transition } was granted

could you please tell me what these assertion errors mean and, in general, how to fix them?

Cheers,
Lonnie
